FACES BEHIND OUR MISSION💙
Meet Java, one of the most beloved members of the Child Advocacy Center team!
Java is our Facility Dog, and she has spent her time at the CAC bringing comfort, connection, and plenty of smiles to the children, families, and team members she meets. Whether she is sitting quietly beside a child, offering a comforting nuzzle, or simply being a calming presence, Java helps create a warm and welcoming environment during what can be one of the hardest days a child and family may experience.
As Java prepares to retire this fall, we are celebrating the important role she has played in our mission and the countless moments of comfort and joy she has brought to the CAC. 🐾
When she is not working, Java has quite the personality. She can often be found carrying two tennis balls or her favorite ball and baby combination in her mouth, sometimes even while she is asleep!
Java is also a bit of a foodie. She happily accepts green beans, broccoli, cucumbers, pineapple, strawberries, and watermelon, but do not even think about offering her blackberries, raspberries, or oranges.
And for the record, Java would also like everyone to know she is not responsible for any mysterious t***s that may occur in the interview rooms.
Today, on National Dog Day, we are celebrating Java and the comfort, companionship, and happiness she has brought to the CAC family. We are grateful for every child, family, and team member who has had the opportunity to meet her.
