Frankie’s story is one of heartbreaking cruelty but also incredible resilience and love. Severely beaten, his back is permanently curved. X-rays reveal that while his fractures have healed incorrectly, there is no surgery that can correct the damage. In addition to his spinal injury, Frankie suffers from chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs) that require close and constant monitoring.
Initially, Frankie was paralyzed with fear, terrified of human touch. He is frightened by sudden noises and will flinch as if afraid of being hit. Thanks to the unwavering care of his foster family, Frankie has learned to trust and now enjoys their attention. Despite his numerous physical limitations, he has moments of joy and is obsessed with his best friend, Vera, a little Miniature Pinscher.
Frankie's medical expenses are considerable, averaging $175 a month for his daily medications. What happened to Frankie is undeniably cruel and unfair, but his capacity to love and trust, despite his past, is nothing short of miraculous. He has always shown compassion to other animals, even cuddling up with kittens. He truly is the kindest soul.
We are committed to ensuring that Frankie receives the care and support he needs. Join us in supporting this incredible dog, who has shown that even in the face of adversity, love and resilience can prevail.
