Pets In Hawaii 66 Four-legged friends are more than simply pets. They are a part of your family! Whether you plan on moving your pet to Hawaii or acquiring one after you arrive, these tips make pet ownership in paradise a wonderful experience. MOVING YOUR PET TO HAWAII Hawaii is rabies-free. Therefore, the state has set very strict quarantine regulations. As the primary port of entry in the Hawaiian Islands, Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) is the quarantine and inspection check point for all animals arriving in the islands. The Animal Import System (AIS) webbased portal allows pet owners to fill out and print online applications, print forms and monitor application status. The portal has also recently updated information regarding potential delays with processing pets once they arrive at the airport’s Animal Quarantine facility. These details can also be found by visiting the website, https://hdoa.hawaii.gov/ai/aqs/faq-for-fiveday-or-less-program, or by calling (808) 483-7151. A FAQ for Hawaii’s Five-DaysOr-Less Program can be found at Hawaii.gov/hdoa. Dogs and cats arriving in Honolulu will be taken from the aircraft by airline personnel and delivered to the Airport Animal Quarantine Holding Facility (AAQHF). Pets are taken out of their carriers, placed into indoor kennels and provided with fresh water. Food may be provided at owner’s request. At the AAQHF, your pet will be inspected, including a check for ticks and other parasites. If all paperwork was received on time and is in order, and there is no discovery of ticks, parasites or signs of disease, your pet should be eligible for Direct Airport Release. Direct Airport Release: Owners are able to pick up their pet(s) from AAQHF immediately after inspection is complete. Please note that the typical 1- to 2-hour process has commonly seen delays during the past few years. AAQHF is located between Terminals 1 and 2, roughly 120 yards from baggage handling.
