Isabella Carruth still doesnât know how long she must be away from her boyfriend and her family.
The local dog trainer remains in Honduras with her service dog, Dante, after the Centers for Disease Control denied her first permit to return to the United States with her service animal. If she is unable to gain approval, she could possibly be forced to stay in Central America for as long as a year, until the CDCâs ban is no longer in effect, she said.
Carruth plans to resubmit the application for a CDC Dog Import permit, which is now required for any dogs traveling back to the U.S. from high-risk rabies countries, including Honduras. The document wasnât required when Carruth left the U.S. on July 9, but was issued just four days before she was set to return from the trip.
