We need your HELP!

Our family’s dogs need your HELP! Anything helps, even a like and a share!

The Center for Disease Control (CDC), U.S Customs (CBP), and the ARK facility at JFK have held 11 dogs in quarantine, since they landed at JFK airport on September 8th, without legitimate cause.

Owners are not able to see their dogs, send a third party vet, or even get pictures. The ARK simply says “no comment”!!! We have been desperately pleading for their release.

Under care of the ARK, two weeks after being seized, one of the dogs, a Yorkie, has died. In addition to this horrifying event, his littermate has also presented ill. The ARK has withheld veterinary care and the ARK attempted to conceal the dog's death to the owner, stating the dog was doing well a day after the dog had already died. We have no idea if the other Yorkie is receiving proper care.

Upon entry into the US, the dogs were seized by the CDC based on a suspicion of an error on a piece of paperwork and without due process! All proper and substantiated paperwork has been submitted!! The dogs are currently being housed at the ARK facility while the courts encourage the CDC to remedy the issue immediately. However, the CDC is requiring us owners to incur all the costs they’ve imposed and accrued due to the unfair and unsubstantiated seizure.

The dogs have been at the ARK for 16 days today, and at $100 a day with the threat of a further 28 days of quarantine and mounting legal fees, the 10 remaining owners need help paying the dog's bail so that our dogs may come home.

The ARK will not provide us with proof that the remaining dogs are alive and healthy. They will not provide pictures. They continually reply to our pleas with "no comment"

Please share, donate, and help us bring all our dogs home.

Our main goal is to get our dogs home immediately and start to repair the trauma the CDC and ARK have caused by their negligent actions and sheer disregard for our animals well-being. However, it is important to bring awareness to the fact that the CDC has ordered a cover up of the situation and there is an active court case* demanding the release of the dogs and records. Here is the case, for your personal review Gimadiev v Azar et al, 20cv04248

Thank you for helping bring our babies home and bring light to this darkness! Please share, donate, and help us bring our dogs home.
