Chrissy & Cerberus
By:Jon O’Conner
Sam’s Club employee, Chrissy Mariano said she always wanted to fix her pets, but was unable to do so on her own. With a cat, a Boston terrier, a boxer, and a pit bull to love and feed, it was tough finding the money to fund the sterilization each of them needed.
Mariano said she had heard of PALS previously and was considering contacting them for help before they hosted a free spay and neuter clinic in the parking lot of her work.
After filling out vouchers and bringing her pets to the clinic, Mariano was finally able to have all of her pets spayed and neutered.
“It was relieving getting my pets fixed for free,” said Mariano. “I’m very thankful to PALS and what they were able to do for us.”
Mariano said she has noticed positive changes in all of her pets since they were sterilized, including less dominant behaviors and more eased, relaxed demeanors. Mariano said that of all her pets, she was most thankful to have her youngest, pit bull Cerberus fixed saying she was afraid that if he had not been neutered, he may have adopted aggressive behaviors.
“He was pretty young when we got him fixed,” said Mariano. “He’s always been sweet and I want him to stay that way.”
