Description:
Meet Java: Your Laid-Back Adventure Buddy Java has all the makings of a loyal, low-drama adventure buddy. He’s a medium-sized mixed breed—fully house-trained, crate-trained, and great with other dogs. He’s a social chameleon, adapting his play style to suit his friends. Whether roughhousing with a rowdy companion or sharing a quiet time with a senior dog, Java knows how to read the room. He shares toys and space with ease, shows no signs of reactivity, and is gentle and polite when taking treats. He also shows strong signs of trainability—especially around routines. His crate exits, car rides, and leash-up moments have all improved dramatically in a short time. He now hops in and out of the car with confidence and rides like a champ. Java enjoys toys, loves hiking, and takes in every trail and scent with quiet enthusiasm. He might even make a great running partner with a little more confidence and consistency—he’s already shown he has the stamina and focus for it. At home, he’s content to nap during the workday, making him a great fit for remote workers—as long as he gets some afternoon exercise and has a way to burn off energy a few days a week (doggy daycare has been a big win). In the evenings, he settles in calmly. Java displays some shyness, especially indoors or when startled by noise or motion. But he’s not pushy or reactive, and he continues to build confidence each day. He’s well-suited for an individual or family who provides structure, enjoys dog training, and appreciates the satisfaction of watching a good dog become a great one. If you're looking for a companion to grow with, laugh with, and explore with, Java might just be your perfect match.
