Aloka (formerly known as Mo but now embracing his mysterious new identity) is a seven‑pound retirement‑ready lap magnet who has perfected the art of being your shadow. If you move, he moves. If you sit, he sits. If you blink, he's already in your lap wondering why you took so long. He's a gentle old soul with the emotional depth of a poet and the snuggle skills of a seasoned professional. His previous family adored him, and he adored them right back—so much so that his foster swears she saw actual tears when they said goodbye. He's the kind of dog who loves once and loves forever, and he's now searching for the next human lucky enough to be chosen as his person. Aloka is a simple man with simple pleasures: belly rubs, quiet corners, soft laps, and being told he's a very good boy. He's potty trained, walks beautifully on a leash, rides well in the car, and gets along with respectful kids, cats, and dogs—especially the small ones who understand the importance of personal space and snack‑sharing etiquette. He's slightly active, low‑energy, and fully committed to the slow‑living lifestyle. He doesn't need a fenced yard, he doesn't need fancy toys, and he definitely doesn't need chaos. What he does need is someone who wants a loyal best friend, a warm lap companion, and a tiny, gentle presence who will love you with his whole heart. If you're looking for a soft, sweet, devoted little buddy who will follow you through life like the world's cutest shadow, Aloka is ready to clock in for his forever job. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter's expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
