"Buddy" the Cedaredge Police K-9 Unit

    Buddy has been the only K-9 unit police dog in Delta county for the past 7 years.  He was recently diagnosed with Pannus, a condition that has made him lose his vision.  He is almost completely blind now.  He served longer than the average for police dogs, and was a huge asset to the department.  He was also a community ambassador, visiting the elementary school and being present at local events.  The Cedaredge Police Department is now asking for the public's help to raise money for a replacement dog.  These highly trained dogs come with a hefty price tag, and our small department is unable to afford one on their own.  Trained police dogs cost at least $14,000 dollars, and this is where you come in.  Please donate if you can to help our community and county be a safer place for everyone.
