Lani's Story

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.

Underdog Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
Thank you for reading about our awesome dogs. All dogs came to us from different situations and we often do not know much about their past, but they are rescue dogs who deserve a second chance and need patience on their journey. All of our dogs our are in foster homes all across the bay area. The first step of the process is you must submit an application in order to set up a meet and great or talk with the foster family. Once application is submitted the foster parents will contact you to chat more about the dog and make sure they're a good fit and can answer any further question. The application answers most of all of our questions and can best match you. If you do not get the dog you apply for we can use your same application for 90 days towards another dog in our care and simply forward your app to that foster parent. **Reminder we are all volunteers working hard to save these dogs, some dogs may receive 20+ application to all be reviewed. We do our best to respond to all apps as we can. Please be patient and feel free to send us a follow up email if needed. http://form.jotform.com/underdogca/dog-adoption-application All dogs will be fully vetted (Spay/ Neutered, Micro chipped, DHPP and Rabies Vaccinated) and other possible vet care prior to adoption. The adoption fees vary by animal and are considered a non refundable donation Visit us at www.underdogca.com or follow us on IG@underdoganimalrescueca https://www.facebook.com/underdogCA A little more about us: Underdog Animal Rescue is a foster based rescue serving the Bay Area of Northern California. Since our start in 2014, we have built an outstanding team and have grown into a strong network of volunteers dedicated to saving the Underdogs in our shelters and community. We have dedicated our efforts to giving a second chance to the dogs that are most in need (medically or behaviorally) and the dogs that have been overlooked for too long. As a foster based rescue, Underdog places dogs in temporary foster homes where they can decompress and get the love and affection that they need. Dogs are also vaccinated, spayed/neutered and receive any other medical treatment needed before finding their forever home. Rescue is undoubtedly hard and trying work but it is entirely worth it to see the life of a dog saved. As a rescue, we believe it is our duty to save the dogs that really need our help; the dogs that need a little TLC, a little medical care, or just someone to believe in them again. This is why we save the dogs that are on their last days at the shelter or haven't even been given a chance to be adopted by the public. As much as we love those sweet puppy eyes, we think more of saving their mommy’s and daddy’s that have been shoved to the back of the shelter awaiting their fate. Thank you for seeing what we do and loving us for it. It’s only because of our outstanding community, foster families and volunteers that we are able to continue our efforts.
