Danni is a one-year-old Pit Bull in Simi Valley, CA, who needs $622 for urgent surgery.

Danni was found as a stray who was struggling to walk. She got picked up and sent to an animal control facility where the injured pup didn't have much of a chance of being adopted. As her days were numbered in the shelter, Mark R., the founder of Southern California Pit Bull Rescue, came to her rescue!

Besides being adorable, cute, and pretty, Mark immediately discovered that Danni loved toys. "When we went to take her from her shelter kennel, she grabbed one of her toys she had and brought it with her to her foster home," Mark tells Waggle.

The medical team at All Paws Riverside Animal Hospital found Danni had a torn ACL, and she needs immediate surgery to fix it. Now Southern California Pit Bull Rescue is racing to raise donations to pay for the bill. "Her surgery is critical, and it will be life-changing," Mark says. "The longer she goes without the operation, more arthritis will form. We must get her in soon."

Mark says Danni is worth every penny, and every cent someone gives to her campaign will help her recover and find the forever home she deserves. "The donations help us give these dogs quality of life. Without donations, we would not be able to continue our work. Danni is sweet, and she loves other dogs too."
