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 Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.

Animal Rescue of New England saves animals from high-kill shelters or abandonment situations and places them in loving forever homes.
