>OK, you say that you have ANIMALS coming to the USA in Autumn and >that you can do HOME checks on them. If your in the UK, how are you >going to do HOME checks in the USA? The animal rescue community does it all the time. It's called networking. You get to know a lot of people by networking. You use reputable people (people you have gotten to know over time) in the areas where you want to send an animal and they do the home visits for you, or they can refer you to someone who can. We get requests for this area all of the time. One of our local dog rescues just re-homed a dog from Florida to Canada. I hope that any individual who adopts/sells pets (ferrets included) does home visits, even long distance, before allowing the animal to go. Katharine [Posted in FML 5652]
