Lani

Meet Lani 🌸 | The Perfect Medium-Sized Soul Dog<br/><br/>Lani is one of those dogs who quietly steals your heart — the kind who fits into your home like she’s always belonged there. At around 22 pounds, she’s the perfect in-between size: sturdy enough for adventures, small enough to curl up beside you without taking over the couch.<br/><br/>Lani’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. She came to us as a stray from a bad situation in Fresno, where she and her brothers were abandoned and left to survive on their own. Somehow, through all of that uncertainty, Lani held onto her gentle spirit — and once she landed in foster care, she truly began to shine.<br/><br/>Now thriving in a loving home, Lani has mastered the art of being a fantastic house dog. She adores romping around with her foster siblings, engaging in playful zoomies and friendly wrestling matches, and then seamlessly transitioning into full cuddle mode. After playtime, she’s happiest curled up on the couch, soaking in affection and resting her head close to her people.<br/><br/>Lani is sweet, well-tempered, and delightfully silly in a way that brings daily smiles. She’s not over-the-top or demanding — instead, she’s the kind of dog who reads the room, mirrors the energy around her, and adds warmth wherever she goes. Every day she grows more confident, letting her personality unfold with little moments of joy, curiosity, and trust.<br/><br/>Because of her past and her social nature, Lani needs to be a second dog in her forever home. Having another kind, friendly pup gives her confidence, comfort, and a built-in best friend for both playtime and cozy naps. She thrives with canine companionship and blossoms when she has a buddy to follow and learn from.<br/><br/>Lani is looking for a home that values connection, patience, and love — a place where she can continue discovering just how safe and wonderful life can be. In return, she’ll give you unwavering loyalty, gentle affection, and the kind of presence that makes a house feel like home.<br/><br/>If you’re searching for a dog who will bring peace, playfulness, and heart into your life — and who will adore having a dog sibling — Lani might just be the missing piece to your family.<br/><br/>First Step Is To Apply Now<br/>[Apply Now](http://form.jotform.com/underdogca/dog-adoption-application)<br/>For application updates, forwarding requests, or any questions, contact us at adopt@underdogca.com.
