There are countless dogs out there who need a home, and while it can be easy to overlook the older dogs at the shelter, they also deserve love and attention. Unfortunately, many of these dogs spend their last days in a shelter, but one elderly canine named Annie was lucky enough to have two friends who made her final days unforgettable.

Annie, a 19-year-old dog, was abandoned by her previous owners and taken to a shelter. She had little time left, and it seemed that she would spend her last days there. However, her story touched Lauren Siler and Lisa Flores so much that they decided to take her in as a foster dog.
The two roommates began sharing Annie’s experiences on social media and committed to creating a “bucket list” of fun things for Annie to do in order to make the most of her remaining time on earth. The foster parents shared on Instagram that Annie would soon have the best month of her life at 19 years old. She would receive lots of love, be treated like royalty, and have plenty of cuddles, ice cream, and hamburgers. When it was time for her to say goodbye, she wouldn't be alone in a shelter.

Despite the doctors’ prediction that Annie only had a few weeks to live, she is still alive and thriving months later and is enjoying the time of her life. Annie has received an outpouring of love from people all over the world, in addition to her two foster moms, since her story went viral. Posts on her social media document the many gifts and letters that people have sent her.

Lauren told 9News that some of her Instagram videos have been viewed 4.2 million times. “We had to get a PO box for her fan mail,” she said. Despite knowing that Annie’s time is limited, her foster parents are still providing her with the best life possible.

“We’re just going to let her keep living until she’s ready to go,” Lauren told 9News. “If she had spent her last day in a shelter, it would have broken my heart even more.”

Annie's story is heartwarming and serves as a reminder that every dog deserves a loving home, regardless of age. It's heartening to know that there are people like Lauren and Lisa out there who are willing to make a difference in an older dog's life. Annie may have been abandoned by her previous owners, but thanks to her foster moms, she's living out her final days with love and dignity.
