Importing a pup to the UK

There aren't any exceptions to the PETS scheme, even if the country of export is a WHO designated Rabies-free region..

But, you may want to look into getting a license on import. If you do the 6 months quarantine in UK, you can still visit most quarantine stations nearly everyday (except Sunday). So you can import a puppy and put him or her into a quarantine kennel (there are many, here is a listing: http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-pet...fo/england.htm ) for 6 months, and you can visit quite often.

A person I know did the Hawai'i quarantine there as she did not have enough time to prepare her pets when she moved, her pets made it out fine and she got to visit often, too.
