This page is designated exclusively for IPATA pet shippers to submit Animal Care Facility reservation requests on behalf of their clients for foreign-vaccinated dogs arriving from CDC high-risk rabies countries and traveling into JFK International Airport in New York. Completing this form ensures proper routing, compliance with U.S. entry requirements, and streamlined processing upon arrival.
The ARK at JFK proudly serves the global pet-shipping community with specialized Animal Care Facility services designed to support safe, compliant, and seamless international transport. As an approved partner facility located on-airport at JFK International, we provide climate-controlled accommodation, species-specific handling, veterinary oversight, and efficient processing that meet the highest standards in international animal transport.
An IPATA pet shipper is a professional member of the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association—an organization recognized worldwide for maintaining strict ethical, welfare, logistics, and regulatory standards in animal travel. IPATA members follow established best practices, operate under verified business criteria, and adhere to international guidelines to ensure pets move safely and responsibly across borders.
If you NOT an IPATA pet shipper, please submit your request using our general pet shipping form (https://arkjfk.com/acf-reservation-request). This ensures your request is routed to the correct team for faster processing.
