Dogs coming to Okinawa are subject to very strict control by the Government of Japan.  The quarantine process is a minimum of 6 months (180 days) and it is recommended you begin the process immediately.  A dog can serve the quarantine prior to arrival, but only if very strict conditions are met.  See the USA Vet Page for more information: click here for more information.

A dog can serve the quarantine duration on a military installation if the owner is assigned to military family housing and the pet will be restricted to an on-post family housing unit.  Since 1 in 3 families will be living off-post, please consider the risk associated with bringing a pet to the island before the quarantine process is completed.  Pets are not considered a factor when family housing assignments are made and you could be housed in the local community where quarantined animals are not allowed.  The expense of kenneling a pet on-post for the quarantine period can be EXTREMELY high. (minimum $25 per day)

Military Family Housing restricts the type and number of domesticated animals in each housing unit.  Department of Defense Policy prohibits the following breeds of dog in Military Family Housing: pit bulls, rottweilers, doberman pinschers and wolf hybrids, as well as any mix with these breed types. The pit bull category is expanded to include breeds such as the American Bull Terrier. This policy has no waiver authority. Additionally, the DoD has issued new guidance in 2017 on the classification of "emotional support animals" and does NOT consider a class of service animal under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The full policy regarding pets in Okinawa Military Family Housing can be accessed here.  

The quick rule is: two pets of any combination of cats or unrestricted breed dogs per family housing unit. Fostered pets are included in this number.

A Guide for Residents of our Community
- Do not block or cover any heating, ventilation, or air conditioning duct or fan coil units
- Clean filters every 30 days. If you have pets clean the filters every 15 days
- Maintain a temperature in your home between 76 and 80 degrees in air conditioning
season
- Maintain a temperature in your home between 65 and 74 degrees in heating season
- Clean and dust your home on a regular basis. Use environmentally safe household
cleaners
- Regular vacuuming and mopping removes household dirt and debris that contribute to
mold growth. A vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter will help remove mold spores
- Periodically clean and dry the walls and floors around the sink, bathtub, shower, toilet,
windows, and patio doors using a common household disinfecting cleaner. On a regular
basis, wipe down and dry areas where moisture sometimes accumulates, such as
countertops, windows, and window sills
- Never run the exhaust fan continuously. Use the bathroom fan when bathing or
showering and allow the fan to run until all excess moisture has been vented from the
bathroom
- Use the exhaust fan in your kitchen when cooking or while the dishwasher is running and
allow the fan to run until all excess moisture has been vented from the kitchen
- If you have a clothes dryer in your unit, clean the lint filter after each use and promptly
report any damage to the vent connection. If condensation forms within the closet, wipe
it daily. Dry damp clothing as quickly as possible
- Limit houseplants to a reasonable number to limit excess humidity in your home and
limit molds that could grow on the solid surface. Avoid over watering
- If you clean up a spill on your carpeting, blot the area dry
- Do not overfill closets or storage areas. Overcrowding restricts airflow
- Do not leave external doors, opening windows for cooling is good, during moderate
weather in “spring” and “fall” seasons when the AC if not turned-on
- Do not store items in a/c mechanical room

This guide provides information and guidance for homeowners and renters on how to clean up residential mold problems and how to prevent mold growth.
