The main reason to allow dog imports is probably to accommodate people relocating or returning to the US.

As a matter of fact, though, the reason the ban has been introduced has been a consequence of a dog shortage. Because many people are spending more time at home alone, demands for pets has gone up. Apparently there aren't enough dogs in the US to fulfill current demand.

There are millions of dogs waiting to be adopted, It is not about shortage of dogs but some rescues specially importing stray dogs from other countries.

Just go on petfinder and see how many dogs are available
