Jed ARP
Jed is a handsome and affectionate greyhound with a sweet, friendly nature and a real love of people.

With his kind heart and loving personality, Jed quickly wins over everyone he meets.

He may suit living with polite dogs of any size who will respect his space and could also be a wonderful companion for a family with children aged 5 years and older. With understanding and support, Jed will reward his new family with loyalty, affection and plenty of gentle cuddles.
