There should adequate shelters open for pets and residents. There is no reason why there can't be enough shelters for residents and their pets in The Villages. However, mixing barking dogs in every shelter with the elderly can be problematic. Shelters are stressful environments by nature and we need to be careful not to make them more unpleasant and stressful than they already are.
Hopefully, we learn from experience and make sure there are enough designated pet shelters made available should the need for mandatory evacuation arise in the future.
