Need help with transporting a puppy from US to Amsterdam

[lionhunter]

I need some direction on sending a puppy from the US (Los Angeles) to Amsterdam. The puppy will be 9 weeks old and is going to a person living in Holland. I have a friend who is traveling from LA to Amsterdam and is willing to take the puppy with him on the plane. I know I need a Pet Passport but any other tips/info would be appreciated. I have never done this before and I just want to make sure this little girl gets to her new owners safe and sound.
Thanks in advance,

Hello - Unvaccinated puppies and kittens under 3 months are permitted to enter the Netherlands from a rabies free or a country with a low incidence of rabies (like the US) with a declaration of the owner that the animal stayed in the place in which it was born since birth without contact with wild animals likely to have been exposed to the infection. Puppies and kittens must also be microchipped and have an Annex II form for the Netherlands.
