Chip Ore is a one-year-old Catahoula Pit Bull mix in Blewes Creek, NC, who needs $2,000 for urgent leg surgery.

Sweet Chip didn't have a chance! He was hit by a car that didn't stop to help -- instead, it just sped off, leaving Chip horribly injured on the side of the road.

Now Chip needs surgery immediately to repair his leg fractures, or he could lose his leg! But Chip's human dad is struggling to pay for the operation; he has a lot on his plate. He is a single father raising a 12-year-old boy. He also helps take care of his 86-year-old mother and his disabled brother with Down syndrome.

Chip's family and friends tell Waggle: If you had the chance to get to know Chip, you would fall in love with him. He is such a smart, amazing companion. This dog is much more than a pet; he is a huge part of the family. Chip is a healthy, active dog. His loyalty to the family is unbelievable. Every family needs a pet like Chip.

The medical team at Carolina Veterinary Specialists are ready to do Chip's surgery, but Chip's family needs your help raising the money to save his leg.

Please help Chip after the tragedy he suffered from a hit-and-run driver!
