Hello,

Are you a dog or a cat person? A pet can add life to a home and make an ideal travel companion during your expatriation in the USA.

However, formalities or regulations might put you off traveling with your pet making adoption a better option.

Are there any particular rules or procedures for the adoption of an animal in the USA?

What are the costs associated with adopting a pet in the USA?

Are there different procedures depending on the animal?

Are pet-sitting options available?

Have you ever adopted a pet in the USA? Is he or she still with you today?

Thank you in advance for your feedback,

Loïc

If formalities coming to the US put you off what do you do when you leave the US?

Hi Adopting a pet in the US is pretty simple and straightforward...there are agencies..or specifically people who handle these adoptions and who work in tandem with animal rescue agencies..

These rescued animals are properly vaccinated and ready to share thier lives with thier new owners.

If you need any further information, please write to gnaiyar@yahoo.com and I can specifically give you more information about this

As health care for humans, health care for pets in the US is horribly and ridiculously expensive. As anything else, pets are a further vehicle for disgusting speculation.

Advise? Don’t come living in the US, not yourself, not with or without pets!

There are many others countries where life and dignity is much more valued, respected and guaranteed.
