To date we have rehomed over 30 dogs to the US, Canada and Spain. If you are considering adopting a pet from the Peanut Pet Shelter we will be more than happy to try and assist you in any way possible.  Animals know no borders! Adopting a pet is always an exciting time!  But what if you adopted a pet from the Peanut Pet Shelter and you don’t live in Mexico?  Cross border adoptions are very simple if you take the time to understand they how’s and why’s of getting your pet home.
It’s important to begin planning well in advance of your departure date with your newest member of the family.  Proper planning will help lessen the stress for you and your pet and provide you with realistic expectations of international pet travel. First and foremost you need to contact your airline carrier with which you plan to travel.  All major airlines have information on their websites that direct you through this process and should be able to answer any questions you may have. Just to highlight some of the important issues: Does your carrier accept animals for travel?  Several “charter” airlines do not! Do they ride in the cabin or the pressurized cargo hold?  Is there a limit to the number of pets per flight? Do you have the proper container for transporting your pet?  All require the hard plastic carriers. Do I have to change planes?  It is suggested to travel on a non-stop flight if possible when traveling with a pet. Are there outside temperature restrictions for your departure and arrival city? Is there an age restriction?  (some puppies may be too young to travel) Are there any special vaccinations my pet will need before I can bring him home? Most Airlines require your pet to have all of the standard vaccines which you can have Administered (if not done so already) in Playa del Carmen. Should I sedate my pet for travel?  This is not generally recommended for air travel. As is can put your pet at risk by throwing off their equilibrium. What documents will I need to travel with my pet?  Again  airlines require proof of current vaccinations signed by a veterinarian. How and where will my pet clear customs? What are the costs  involved in taking my pet home?  All airlines charge an extra fee When transporting pets.  Contact your airline carrier for specific charges.
