About Jed Vera

Jed Vera is an 8–9-year-old neutered male German Shepherd with a striking black and brown coat and a sweet demeanor that's hard to resist. Weighing 128 lbs, he was surrendered due to landlord issues and is now looking for a loving retirement home. This gentle senior has arthritis in his spine and back legs, which means he would benefit from losing some weight for improved mobility. He is available for adoption on a health waiver, allowing his new family to continue his veterinary care and help him lead a more comfortable life. Despite his challenges, Jed remains a relaxed and affectionate companion who simply wants a cozy place to call home. If you're ready to provide the love and care this senior boy deserves, reach out for more information.
