Maus Nissan’s Pet of the Week – Godwin
Looking for a furry wide receiver to join your team? Meet Godwin — a 7-year-old pup with a sparkly silver face and a heart full of hustle. She was once Jolene, but got a name change in honor of Chris Godwin, because this girl? She’s all about making plays.
Godwin’s been at the shelter since last December — one of our longest residents — and she’s ready to trade her kennel for a couch. She may bark inside, but it’s just her way of saying, “Let me out and let’s GO!”
She’s a toy-loving, treat-chasing superstar who’ll win you over with a simple toss. She’s a little picky with doggy friends, so if you’ve got a pup at home, let’s set up a meet and greet.
And here’s the kicker — her adoption fee is waived. That’s right, waived. Because we believe her perfect match is out there, and it might just be you.
Swing by the shelter and meet Godwin — your next MVP.

Maus Nissan’s Pet of the Week - Meet Harvey
Harvey is a 4–5-year-old Shepherd mix that’ll start out shy, but once he knows you’re a friend, he’ll greet you with the happiest tail wags. At around 60lbs, Harvey is a gentle soul who just needs a little time to feel safe—and once he does, his affectionate, goofy side shines through.
He’s likely housebroken, knows how to sit, and accepts treats like a true gentleman. Harvey gets along well with other dogs and was even polite when meeting a barn kitty at a volunteer’s home. He’s easy going for nail trims and is working on his leash manners.
Harvey has been waiting patiently at the shelter since January 15. He’s fixed, microchipped, vaccinated, and comes with a 1-year county license. His adoption fee is waived—he just needs a steady, confident adopter to help him blossom.
If you’re ready to earn a loyal companion’s trust and watch him come to life, Harvey’s heart is ready for you.

🐾 Maus Nissan’s Pet of the Week: Brownie! 🐾
Meet Brownie—a young hound girl with a heart full of love and legs made for zoomies. At just under 2 years old, she’s bursting with energy, affection, and a serious love for belly rubs. Seriously, she’ll flop right onto the ground and melt into you like butter on toast.
Brownie’s ideal match? Someone who loves long walks, trail runs, or muddy backyard adventures. She’s not built for apartment life—but give her a yard and she’ll give you world-class zoomies, splashy kiddie pool dives, and the kind of laughter you didn’t know you needed.
Just don’t mention the hose. She’s not a fan.
Brownie prefers to be your one-and-only pet at home, but she’s done great playing with other dogs at the shelter—so playdates could be a fun option!
Sweet, silly, and full of affection, Brownie is ready to chase joy with her forever person.

Maus Nissan's Pet of the Week - Meet Gaya, a 4-year-old American Bulldog with a heart as big as her smile. She’s got a signature move — the most adorable little army crawl — that’ll melt you on sight. And if you’ve got a tennis ball? You’ve got a best friend. Gaya lives for fetch and will happily play until your arm gives out.

Despite coming from a heartbreaking cruelty case involving 31 other dogs, Gaya’s spirit is unshaken. She’s gentle, well-mannered, and even did great in a playgroup with a friendly male pup. She gets along well with dogs her size and weighs in at a perfect 53 pounds — just right for couch cuddles and backyard zoomies.

Gaya does have a chronic skin condition, common in her breed, but with the right food and care in a loving home, she’ll thrive far better than she can in the shelter.

She’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and ready to start her next chapter — maybe with you?

To learn how you can adopt Gaya, call 352-796-5062 or

visit hernandosheriff.org.

Let’s help this brave girl find the love she’s been waiting for.

🐾 Maus Nissan’s Pet of the Week: Rosalie 🐾
Meet Rosalie — a pint-sized sweetheart (about 1 year old, ~ 30 lbs) who’s ready to trade shelter stress for the love and comfort of a forever home.
This playful little lady is treat-motivated, eager to learn, and full of friendly “cutie patootie” energy. She’s looking for an adopter with some puppy experience who can provide clear structure, gentle guidance, and plenty of patience as she grows into her best self.
Rosalie has been returned a few times, so she’ll thrive in a home with someone committed to helping her feel secure and supported. She can be dog-selective, so a meet-and-greet with potential canine siblings is a must.
With consistency, kindness, and a dash of training, Rosalie will blossom into the incredible, loyal companion you’ve been looking for.
Come meet Rosalie today and let her steal your heart!

Maus Nissan’s Pet of the Week: Hollyhock
**Adoption Fee Waived
She can’t hear your voice — but she’ll feel your love.
Meet Hollyhock, a 5-year-old American Bulldog mix who’s deaf, but deeply in tune with the kindness around her. At ~55–60 lbs, she’s gentle, calm, and quietly yearning for a home where she can finally exhale.
🐾 She walks beautifully on leash.
🐾 She’s polite with friendly dogs.
🐾 She’s nervous at first, but give her space — and she’ll give you trust.
🐾 She’s not comfortable around young kids, but older children who understand her gentle nature will be her allies.
🐾 She’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and comes with a 1-year county license.
Despite medication, Hollyhock is visibly stressed in the shelter. But outside her kennel, she’s a different dog — soft, sweet, and ready to connect.
She doesn’t need loud love. She needs quiet understanding.
She doesn’t need perfect. She needs patient.
She doesn’t need a second chance. She needs her first real one.
Come meet Hollyhock. Let her show you how love speaks without sound.
