🐾 MA QUARANTINE FEE (Applies to Certain Adoptions)
An additional $150 fee applies to:
• All Massachusetts residents, and
• Any adopter (regardless of state of residence) adopting a pet that has completed the Massachusetts quarantine process and is being released from a Massachusetts foster home or facility

This additional fee helps offset a portion of the increased costs associated with Massachusetts-based fosters, quarantine requirements, and out-of-state transport compliance.

This fee helps cover:
• 48-hour mandatory Massachusetts quarantine boarding
• Required veterinary exam and release from the MA quarantine facility
• Microchip with prepaid lifetime registration
• A bath on the day of release (courtesy of ARNE)
• A properly fitted Max and Neo martingale collar

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.
