I wish it wasn't, but that is the Australian gov requirement. Go to the link provided.

Read the Australian requirements again: 6 months' quarantine in an approved country. Thailand is not an approved country. Cats and dogs returning to Australia https://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-trade/cats-dogs/cats-dogs-returning-to-australia

At that time this photo was taken she was on the vet table having her yearly rabies vaccine shot. She was looking at me like saying "Are you sure this is ok?"

Thank you very much for your kind words. I will be sure to provide updates here on the final outcome.

My dog Luna also sleeps with us in an a/c room away from mosquitos, because she is part of the family. I gree with you, but this is not about the expense. Relocating a dog from Thailand is far more complicated than bringing one here. For instance, Australia requires that my dog first be relocated to an approved country such as Singapore, for a minimum stay of six months. After that, there is an additional mandatory quarantine of up to 6 months in Australia. This separation and isolation would be devastating for a dog that has lived its entire life with family. And then there is the transport issues. I flew one of my previous dogs on two short flights from Koh Samui to Chiang Mai, and she almost died on that trip. Very few (if any) airlines allow dogs in the cabin, and the cargo hold is a cold and hazardous environment for any animal.

I should add that she hasn't been spayed because her parents are show dogs, and I felt it would be a shame to end her lineage here. But I’m willing to pay to have her spayed by a skilled, competent vet if it becomes necessary. She loves being around other dogs, especially smaller ones (most are). While she does chase cats and birds, she’s never actually harmed any.

Yes, good idea. She hasn't been spayed because her parents are show dogs, and I felt it would be a shame to end her lineage here.

Due to my upcoming move from Thailand, I’m heartbroken to say that I have to part with the most amazing dog I’ve ever had the privilege of caring for. Luna is a 2-year-old female purebred Thai Ridgeback, full of love and personality. She’s house-trained, affectionate, and especially great with children and babies. She has been an incredible companion and would make a wonderful addition to any loving home. I’m looking for a kind family who will provide her with the care and attention she deserves. If you're interested in offering Luna a new home (specially in the Chiang Mai area), then please feel free to message me.
