Mojo is a one-year-old Pit Bull in Simi Valley, CA, who needs $1,688 for leg surgery.

Mojo was struck by a car, the driver took off and left her to die. She was so severely injured she could not move. Then a good Samaritan saw the dog on the side of the road, stopped, picked her up, and brought her to a shelter.

"We were heartbroken when we heard about her," Mark R., the founder of Southern California Pit Bull Rescue, tells Waggle. His nonprofit organization raced to Mojo's rescue after the shelter made a post saying the dog's injuries were too severe for them to handle. "My rescue fixes dogs like this. This is what we do. No dog is too challenging for us. We are the voice for the voiceless," he says.

Once Mark got Mojo to VSEC, Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center Of Thousand Oaks, even he was surprised at the extent of her injuries. "I had no idea how severe she was," he says. Mojo's leg was broken in two places, her hip was dislocated, and her ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) on her knee was torn on another leg. She needed emergency surgery. Then Mark brought Mojo home where he and his wife, Liz R., cared for her.

"I had to walk her with a sling to get her to go out to go to the bathroom. My wife had to hold her by her leash," Mark says.

Mojo was weak from everything she had been through. "We had to hand feed her. She was so dejected she would not eat or drink," Liz says. "I had to take water and squirt it in her mouth. She had been laying in the shelter for five days. She laid there until she was almost dead."

The beautiful dog with gorgeous hazel eyes needed more surgeries to fix her legs. Her medical bills topped $14,000. Now Mojo is doing very well, but the rescue is still trying to pay off her tab. They say seeing Mojo walk again and not be in pain is priceless, "Pit bulls are amazing," Mark says. "She is such a resilient dog. You would have never known she had surgery."

Mark wants to thank anyone who can give to Mojo's campaign; paying off her medical bills helps the rescue save more pups in the future just like her, "We depend on people who are generous and tenderhearted to be able to help the animals who need us."
