Buddy is a super sweet and spunky, young West Highland White Terrier Mix. He graduated with his veteran handler, Shane Krutchen, USMC in March 2021. The pair are very bonded and doing very well! Buddy was adopted from El Cajon Animal Shelter under the generous sponsorship of the David C. Copley Foundation. He is the David C. Copley Foundations second (of three) sponsored pups through our program! You might have caught his journey on CBS 8 News #DogTags segments!
