I have a friend living and working in Japan who would like a dog. This person does not believe in purchasing one from a store (major puppy mill problem there) and unlike the US, there really isn't another way to easily find a dog, especially when looking for a certain breed/size/age/etc. In my US city there is a major pet overpopulation problem. The pound is currently working closely with the two main animal rescues, but they are constantly filled up, leaving many dogs and cats to die.
So, I propose to adopt a dog from here, and somehow send it to them. My problem is, I'm not sure where to go to find out what I need. I all ready know it will be somewhat expensive, but how expensive, really? What paperwork do I need? What records (besides obvious rabies) will be needed? What kinds of things does my friend need (like time of residency, or anything like that). Where can I talk to people who have shipped animals to Japan and can give advice and tips? More information I'll need?
