Java

Female · Adult · 4 years

Java is my name and I was born in Spain. Honestly, I didn't find it so great there, so I took the big bus and now I live in Almelo. It's pretty okay here, but I would still really like my own family. I'm ready for that. My personality is playful, calm but with puppy tricks, eager to learn, and honestly, I'm also quite patient. I get along well with all the other puppies here; we always go out together and it's very nice. They've also taught me how to walk on a leash. That's quite silly, but I do my best. I haven't been spayed yet because my human mom says I'm still too young. As for my requirements, they're not so big. I just want a family that will love me and where I can love them a lot too. I would really like to have a bed and get treats twice a day, oh yes, and I also really love being scratched, so if that could happen every day, that would be heeeeeel wonderful. Do you know by any chance where my family lives? Would you mind telling them I'm looking for them? Lots of love from Java! Call: 06-50800245 or fill out the form:

Java is mijn naam en ik ben geboren in Spanje. Eigenlijk vond ik het daar niet zo tof, dus heb ik de grote bus gepakt en ik woon nu in Almelo. Daar is het best okay, maar ik wil toch wel graag mijn eigen familie. Ik ben er wel klaar voor. Mijn karakter is speels, rustig maar wel met puppy streken, leergierig en eigenlijk ben ik ook best wel geduldig. Ik kan prima overweg met alle andere hondjes hier, we gaan altijd samen naar buiten en dat is heel gezellig. Ze hebben me ook al geleerd hoe ik aan een riempje moet lopen. Dat is wel heel gek hoor, maar ik doe heel erg mijn best. Ik ben nog niet gesteriliseerd omdat ik volgens mijn mensenmama daar nog te jong voor ben. Verder is mijn eisenpakketje niet zo groot hoor. Ik wil graag een familie die van me gaat houden en waar ik ook heel veel van mag houden. Ik zou het fijn vinden als ik een mandje krijg en 2 x per dag brokjes, oh ja en kriebelen vind ik ook heel lekker, dus als dat iedere dag even kan zou dat wel heeeeeel fijn zijn. Weet jij nu toevallig waar mijn familie woont, wil je hun dan zeggen dat ik ze zoek? Veel liefs van Java! Bel: 06-50800245 of vul het formulier in:

About Java

What life with Java looks like

Java is a large adult dog waiting at Stichting Huis voor Dieren in Netherlands.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

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. Stichting Huis voor Dieren 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 — Stichting Huis voor Dieren 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Stichting Huis voor Dieren 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
