Java

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Gender: female Age: born in August 2016 Size: medium Date of arrival at the shelter: 01/06/2017 Spayed: yes (January 2017) Vaccinated: yes Microchipped: yes Compatibility: okay with dogs Temperament: shy Progress: April 2021: Shy, Java still fears people she doesn't know... Nevertheless, she allows herself to be handled by her foster family. She needs a canine companion in her home, but won't feel comfortable in a pack setting. She enjoys wandering in secluded areas, but significant desensitization work will be required for her to confidently venture into town or crowded places. The kind and playful Java will thrive with experienced, gentle, and patient adopters. December 2018: Java doesn't do well in a pack, yet she still needs one or two companions to play with; she loves to go for walks, but since her foster family lives in a very isolated location, it will take a lot of patience from everyone involved to take Java for walks in town. She lets her foster family handle her, but it will take time before she trusts her adopters. She doesn't know cats.

About Java

What life with Java looks like

Java is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Remember Me France in France.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Java, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Java?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Remember Me France handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Java on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Java if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Remember Me France will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Java already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Java isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Remember Me France early rather than rehoming privately; they know Java and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
