AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ADOPTION
A tiny bundle of joy and curiosity, Java Bean is a 3-month-old miniature labradoodle mix with big brown eyes and a big personality. Weighing just 4 ½ pounds, she is expected to be about twelve pounds when fully grown—perfect for small-dog lovers. Despite her short legs, she runs fast and playfully lifts her front paws as she walks. Indoors, she is calm, content, and happy to be at home.
Java’s favorite things include:
Cozy Spots and Her People: Java claims any available dog bed as her own and loves curling up on a lap or at someone’s feet, sometimes offering playful toe nibbles.
Companionship: She happily follows her people from room to room, enjoys attention, and settles quietly beside someone she trusts.
Toys and Chews: Java loves squeaky or rolling toys, oversized plush animals, and puppy-safe chews for teething. When she gets in a mood to play she thinks her foster family’s shoes are toys that she thinks she needs to take (watch the video)! After playing, she takes a quick nap before starting again.
Outdoor Fun: Even a quick trip to the backyard becomes an adventure as Java races around on her short legs like a rabbit.
Curiosity and Socialization: Curious and outgoing, Java eagerly greets both people and dogs with a wagging tail and, when possible, kisses.
She can be the only dog in the house or can live with another dog because she loves playing with dogs (look at the video).
Java has never been exposed to walking on a leash, therefore, the adopter will need to help Java become relaxed with a collar and leash on and learn to walk on a sidewalk.
Java is working on potty training. Due to being at a breeder’s facility, she was kept in a crate for the first few months of her life so had no experience with pee pads or a grass yard. Her adopter will need to plan on teaching her the correct outside place to go the bathroom.
Because of Java’s tiny size 4LD can only adopt her to a home that has older children (no babies or toddlers) or a home without children.
Java will need to have the third dose of her shots that are required for puppies. She also needs to be spayed before the adoption can be considered as final, which follows the rescue organization’s guidelines. The adoption fee covers puppy shots, rabies shot, dewormer, microchip, and spay which will be completed over the next 3 months.
She can go to her permanent home now, but the adopter must be willing to take Java to one of the rescue veterinary clinics for the remainder of her vetting. Our facilities are in Riverview, St. Petersburg, Wesley Chapel, and Sarasota so her new owner will need to live close to one of those locations (adopter’s choice) and plan to travel to these a few different times.
With rescue organizations the adoption is not considered complete until all the puppy vet needs are done so that is why she is considered as “pre-adopt”.
Java’s adoption fee is $850. She is currently being fostered in the Plant City area.
The average lifespan for this breed is 15 years. Therefore, Java’s adopter will need to be prepared to care for her for that amount of time so she will not have to move to a different home.
*We are a foster-based rescue with no shelter or facility to view our dogs, and our address is a mailing address only. Please be patient as we are an all-volunteer rescue, and our rescue dogs are in various loving foster homes throughout West-Central Florida. As a general rule we try to limit our adoptions to within the state of FL.
