In this interview,  SAAC Board member Alexis Raymond and Spay Day 2018 client Savannah Chambers talk about her dog Hercules’ playful (but one-person) personality, the prohibitive cost of anesthesia for such a large dog’s neuter surgery, and how SAAC was able to make the unaffordable affordable.

Transcript:

SAAC: Can you tell me your name and where you’re from please.

Savannah: Savannah in Citrus Heights.

SAAC: And what’s your dog’s name?

Savannah: This is Hercules. This is a Cane Corso mastiff, he’s a year-and-a-half. He’s extremely playful but he’s very one-person–he loves his mama and his dad and that’s about it (laughs).

SAAC: What would you have done without Spay Day? Would you have been able to get him neutered, or . . . ?

Savannah: Probably not. I wouldn’t have been able to get him neutered just because it was, like, $600 to. Due to the anesthesia for his weight. I decided to participate [in Spay Day] because he is a very big dog and it’s super expensive; and it was just a really, really great deal. My mom found it for me, so it was nice.
