The skin will get hot, but if it is made of heat-resistant metal, it may not soften, and proper insulation may keep the interior cool enough for the animal to survive. The re-entry body of an ICBM can be made solider and stronger than an inhabited satellite, but it must hit the atmosphere suddenly, and even if it does not melt, the enormous forces of deceleration will be too much for a living passenger...
