Cdc denied my dog entry to the US I’m devasted

The CDC has denied my dog entry into the U.S. I’m a U.S. citizen, originally from Brazil, and I decided to get a dog there. I was sold a puppy that was supposed to be 7 months old. I spent about $5,000 to bring her to the U.S., following all the rules. I did the serology titer test, microchipped her, and made an appointment at a registered facility. Everything seemed in order, but they reviewed photos of her teeth and claim she’s not yet 6 months old. Now, they want to send her back to Brazil.

I’m terrified for her well-being—she’s a small Yorkie, and I’m worried she won’t survive the trip back. I recently lost another Yorkie to cancer a few months ago, and I can’t bear the thought of losing another dog.
