Couple aband dogs at Bogotá’s El Dorado airport amid vaccination document dispute
Based on · First reported · Updated
- A Colombian couple arriving from Miami was stopped at El Dorado International Airport because authorities questioned the vaccination paperwork for their two dogs, a Pomeranian and a Pit‑bull aged five and six months. The travelers then continued to Cali without the animals, leaving the dogs in the care of the airport’s IDPYBA and the Bogotá mayor’s office while the case is examined.
- The incident triggered a police inspection and a potential referral to the Fiscalía, with the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA) also involved to verify the animals’ health documentation. The director of the IDPYBA, Antonio Llamas, has asked the U.S. Embassy to consider rev‑issuing or rev‑ revoking the couple’s visas, and the Prosecutor’s Office may be notified depending on the investigation’s findings.
