The name Jacen means “healer” and this 40-pound shepherd/hound mix is up for the task of healing you of pet loneliness. Jacen is 2 years old, walks nicely on a leash, and is crate trained. He is still working on being house trained but is doing well. Jacen is well behaved and quite the gentleman with his foster, but not so much with cats. He is still a bit too new to Heartland Small Animal Rescue to determine if he enjoys dog friends. If you are looking for a nice dog to take on adventures, live the van life or you just need a wingman…Jacen is your guy. He is up for anything – as long as he can be with you.
