Frankie is a 4-year-old, neutered male Labrador Retriever mix in Charlotte, NC. Vaccinations are current and his microchip is already set up. Frankie’s history suggests past mistreatment—he can be skittish, especially if movements are quick or hands are suddenly raised. Despite this, Frankie gets along well with other dogs and people. He really needs a patient, low-key family willing to move at his pace and guide him gently. A home with no young children is a must, since sudden noise and activity can increase his stress. Frankie’s spent a long time in rescue care, and now truly needs someone able to foster or commit to his adoption. A securely fenced backyard is non-negotiable for his sense of safety and comfort. Frankie is ready to continue his journey somewhere safe, patient, and kind. Your new best friend is just one click away.
