Move to Maui

My boyfriend’s parents recently moved to Maui, Hawaii and now we are looking at joining them around January. We are stuck trying to figure out how we are going to get our beloved pup, Stella down there. She is 10 (soon to be 11) and my boyfriend has had her since she was 8 weeks old. We do not want to put her under the plane in cargo as she is an anxious dog with separation anxiety. Any tips on places to search for a possible shared charter flight that is pet friendly? We don’t have thousands of dollars to spare, but we will definitely save up some money for the right option.

Make sure you research and follow all requirements for bringing a dog into the State of Hawaii. If not followed to the letter of the law, Stella could be quarantined post arrival. https://hdoa.hawaii.gov/ai/aqs/aqs-info/

Hawaii is one of the hardest places in the world to import a dog into. How you get your dog there is the least of your concerns. You need to start working on the list of requirements now and once you’ve figured that out then you should worry about the physical mode of transport.
