Adopt Java

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Java is a cross-breed mastiff, arriving via a transfer from another shelter. Java is a very cute and affectionate dog with humans. She loves to play and adores balls. Prospective owners should be active types. Java has difficulty being alone. Solitude will need to be addressed. Her tendency to be greedy could be helpful in providing her with occupation toys. We are looking for owners who are present and attentive. A home with access to a yard is preferable. She can live with respectful children. She gets along with male dogs of the same species but only on walks. She does not get along with cats and females. On walks, she is extremely obedient.

Java est une croisé dogue, arrivée suite à un transfert d’un autre refuge. Java est une chienne très mignonne et affectueuse avec l’humain. Elle est joueuse et adore les balles. Des maîtres sportifs serait l’idéal. Java a du mal à rester seule. La solitude sera à travailler. Sa gourmandise pourra l'aider en lui offrant des jouets d'occupations. Nous lui recherchons des maîtres présents. Un placement en maison avec accès à un jardin est préférable. Elle pourra vivre avec des enfants respectueux. Elle s’entend avec les congénères mâles mais uniquement en balade. Elle ne s’entend pas avec les chats et les femelles. En balade elle se montre extrêmement obéissante.

About Java

What life with Java looks like

Java is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Étalondes in Etalondes.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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. SPA Étalondes 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 — SPA Étalondes 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 SPA Étalondes 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.
