5. Frankie
Hello Friends! My name is Frankie I came to the Olive Branch Animal Rescue in a live trap since I was terrified of humans that were trying to help me. I was covered in ticks when I was caught and also I had alot of burrs and things in my untrimmed coat. I am still shy to new humans but once I am picked up and shown that you wont hurt me then I trust you and want you to love me. I seem to be dog freindly and when I see cats I want to bark at them but I dont do anything to them. I have been spayed, fully vaccinated, current on preventives and also all negative on my heartworm combo test.
