The new CDC dog import rules are already wreaking havoc for travelers, expats, military families, and rescues. 

Trying to return from summer vacation with your dog? — NOT POSSIBLE 
Living abroad and traveling home for the holidays with your dog? — NOT POSSIBLE 
Serving in the military and looking to return with a dog? — NOT POSSIBLE 
Rescuing a dog from a war zone? — NOT POSSIBLE 
Competing in a dog show abroad and coming home? — NOT POSSIBLE 
Accepting a job abroad and taking your dog? — HOPE YOU’RE OK NOT RETURNING 

As of August 1 the following airlines have banned ALL dogs on their flights bound for the US because they cannot comply with the new CDC rules.
