Lou is a one-year-old Pitbull in Whitesville, NY, who needs $1,700 for emergency leg surgery.

Anyone who has an active pup knows that it takes seconds for things to go from calm and under control to complete disaster. Angiline P. experienced this when her dog, Lou, jumped from a moving car! Once she got Lou back, she rushed her right over to the animal hospital.

"Lou was treated for an emergency appointment. It was found that nothing was broken," Angiline tells Waggle. "However, Lou was severely bruised, swollen, and had no feeling in her front right leg. The veterinarian was not hopeful about her prognosis. Lou was treated with antibiotics and steroids."

After giving Lou some time to heal, her leg did not get better. Angiline brought her to a specialist at Cornell University Hospital for Animals and got bad news, "We all hoped she may regain the use of her leg. Unfortunately, she has not, and the leg must be removed."

Angiline is panicking. This could not be happening at a worse time. She can't afford the amputation surgery. "I have been unemployed for quite some time and have minimal funds available for Lou. I was denied for the Care Credit card and have exhausted all other avenues. I cannot turn away from our family member. Lou could live a happy and fulfilling life with this surgery."

Lou is a huge part of Angiline's family. "She lives with our older dog, Dexter, our male pit bull, and is still over-excited about our cat Otis. We have two daughters, who are 13 and 11, that Lou sneaks into sleep with at night. She loves to cuddle."

Can you help Lou get on the road to recovery?
