9 puppies found abandoned on Heckscher Drive; foster homes urgently needed

NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – Nine puppies were found abandoned on the side of Heckscher Drive near Amelia Island State Park, and Nassau Humane Society is asking the public for help.

No mother was found at the scene, and one puppy has already been taken to an emergency veterinary hospital with a broken leg.

The shelter is urgently seeking foster families who can take in two or more of the puppies while they recover and grow. Nassau Humane Society will provide all food, supplies, and medical care — foster families simply need to offer a safe, loving environment.
