Policies and rules for shipping pets vary at each installation. It’s important to understand the regulations, prohibitions and laws at your new installation before moving with a pet. Below, you’ll find installation-specific details for registering, boarding and transporting your pet.
Traveling with pets
A military pet is no different than a military family member. When duty calls and you must relocate, pet PCS transportation can become costly. Assistance is available to help with the cost to transport family dog/cat when assignment is to/from an OCONUS location. Required shots, carriers, boarding or other then transportation cost will be the responsibility of pet owner.
The Air Force Aid Society and Army Emergency Relief offers Pet PCS Transportation assistance from or to an overseas assignment. Offical update to 37 U.S.C. 453, dated June 20,23, authorizes reimburssement of cost related to the relocation of a pet that arises during a permanent change of station. Under the adjusted policy, a Uniformed Service member may be authorized reimbursement of up to $550 for a PCS within the continental U.S and $2,000 for a PCS to/from the cotinental U.S. This policy will be effective January 1, 2024 and published in the Joint Travel Regulations on that date.
There are no pet quarantine requirements for Alaska.

Guests are reminded to clean up after their registered pets. Unregistered animals are not allowed in or around lodging properties.

The Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Lodging office can provide you with a list of local hotels that will allow pets (the number of hotels or motels which allow pets is limited). You will need to request a waiver to stay in these hotels if there is availability in TLF in order for these expenses to be reimbursed by the military.

You can choose to board your pet while you stay in TLF. There are no kennels on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson; however, there are kennels in the local area.
