Meet Buster, an adorable and spirited Puggle who recently completed a remarkable journey from New York, USA to Bengaluru, India. Traveling as manifest cargo, Buster bravely flew solo across continents, separated from his beloved mom, Sashi, during a challenging time.

After spending 15 years in the U.S., Sashi—a U.S. passport holder and Overseas Citizen of India—had to urgently return to Bengaluru due to a family crisis. With her heart heavy at the thought of leaving Buster behind, she began navigating the complex process of pet relocation to India.

Bringing a pet into India isn’t simple. It requires adhering to strict regulations, especially obtaining a Transfer of Residence (ToR). This rule mandates that the pet owner must have lived abroad for over two years and not visited India for more than 180 days in the last two years. Unfortunately, Sashi’s extended stay in India disqualified her from meeting this requirement.

Faced with the heartbreaking possibility of being separated from Buster permanently, she reached out to our team at Anvis Pet Relocation—specialists in managing global pet travel logistics.

Understanding the urgency and emotional weight of the situation, our experienced relocation team sprang into action. We worked closely with Indian customs officials, presenting Buster’s unique case with all the necessary documentation and supporting evidence. Through tireless follow-ups and dedicated negotiations, we secured special permission for Buster to enter India as manifest cargo—an incredible breakthrough that brought relief and happiness to Sashi.

Once Buster landed at Bengaluru Airport, our team handled every aspect of his customs clearance and import formalities with precision and care. The most touching moment came when we finally reunited Buster with his mom after their long separation—a reunion filled with joy, emotion, and pure love.

Their story is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. At Anvis Pet Relocation, we believe every pet deserves to be with their family, no matter the miles or the paperwork involved. We are proud to have been part of Buster’s successful transition to his new home in India.
