He came to us after suffering unimaginable cruelty—he was severely beaten, and his spine healed incorrectly, leaving his back permanently curved. Though his injuries can’t be corrected, Frankie has not let his past define him. He is thriving in his foster home, showing incredible resilience and the capacity for deep, unconditional love. Once terrified of human touch, Frankie now enjoys affection and will seek out companionship from people and animals alike. His sweet nature shines brightest when he’s snuggled up beside a kitten or quietly laying near his foster family. Frankie is a soft, calm presence in the home, and his gentle spirit brings peace to everyone around him. Despite his physical limitations and chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs), Frankie lives each day with quiet joy and gratitude. He receives regular veterinary therapy for pain management and is monitored closely for ongoing medical care, which will be sponsored by CrisisDogsNC.
