[QUOTE="klmno, post: 311408, member: 3699"] I got the stuff faxed out and they should receive college transcripts tomorrow or Wednesday- much to my surprise! (The people about the job- not about the dogs.) As far as quarantine requirements- I checked online last week and HI requires a microchip be placed, then AFTER the microchip the dog has to have a blood test and that has to be sent to HI. They won't accept the dog on the island until 120 days after they receive that blood test. This is assuming all shots have been kept up to date for the past couple of years- which they have. I figure I can get the microchip put in within a couple of days after confirming the job (if it gets to that point) and it will take approximately 1 month to actually get myself to HI. So, that would leave about 3 mos before the dogs could be accepted there but it allows me a little time to find someone here to take care of them and transition them a little at a time, over the course of a week or two. The choice would be quarantining in HI's state kennel (that's all they allow) and that costs a fortune, the dog is kept in a kennel- it isn't like day care where they can walk and socialize some- versus me finding someone to take care of them here until the end of that 120 days. I can't afford 3 months of kenneling them here even if I thought that was better than quarantining them. The only plus about the quarantine is that the owner can visit the dogs. But again, it would cost over $3000 for me to go that route and I think it would be tramautizing for them. This is just according to the info I found online but it was an official HI web site. If a person knows all this early enough on, they can prepare for it and avoid the quarantine so I guess that's how your friend managed it, MM. [/QUOTE]
