My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Java a sweet, wiggly bundle of joy who’s always ready to brighten your day with snuggles, kisses, and nonstop tail wags. This affectionate girl loves being close to her people and will happily curl up for cuddles after a good play session.

Don’t let the cuddles fool you Java is also full of energy and strength! She plays hard, loves to move, and brings a whole lot of enthusiasm to every game and adventure. Java would absolutely love lots of good, long walks, giving her the chance to explore the world, burn off energy, and enjoy quality time with her person. Whether it’s daily strolls, active outings, or backyard playtime, she’s always ready to go.

If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts snuggle bug and playful powerhouse, and who would be happiest with plenty of exercise and love, Java might just be your perfect match. She’s ready to bring joy, wiggles, and endless affection into her forever home.

If you are interested in adopting Java, please visit the shelter during adoption hours.
