Fernandina Beach, FL — Twenty small dogs were surrendered to the Nassau Humane Society Friday, and they all need forever homes.

The dogs include Chihuahua mixes, Dachshund mixes, and Chiweenies. They range in age from four months to eight years. They are being checked out by NHS’s medical and behavioral staff before being offered for adoption.

All of the animals will need vaccinations, NHS says, and some will need spay-neuter surgeries, which NHS will pay for.

Some of the dogs appear to have eye issues that will probably require treatment or surgery, and some may also need grooming and additional medical procedures.

NHS director Debbie Chissell said, “It’s going to be time-consuming for our staff, and costly,” she said. “We are glad to do it, but if anyone could offer a financial donation to help us with the unexpected costs, we would greatly appreciate it.”

If you’d like to help, donations can be made on the NHS website at NassauHumane.org, or at the shelter, 639 Airport Road in Fernandina Beach, (904) 321-1647.

As the dogs are cleared for adoption, they will be posted on the NHS website under the “adopt” link. NHS will also post updates on its Facebook page.
