First, The employees to my knowledge have never told anyone to call us. They would contact us and we would contact the resident to see if we could assist.


"Lost Pets of the Villages seems more like a group of individuals coordinating finding lost pets and getting them back to the owners. Not really an organization with some kind of flow chart showing roles and duties of "officers". And Angie Fox and her husband do not really have any control over any of the actions of the various volunteers in this group of people.'

You are correct. We also have no control over what goes on at Sumter County Animal Control, we can't get in there to see the pets. An THEY are a government organization.

This is correct. We have no control over ANYONE. However, in the past, when people found pets, often times they would assume it was a stray or a dump. People would keep a pet, rehome it, take it to a rescue or call animal control.


We have been very active in educating people and preventing that from happening. Every once in awhile, someone will find a pet and want to keep it. If we know about it, we will post for that pet to get it back home!

We have also actively educated people in the urgency of chipping and tagging their pets.

Marion County got so full, they stopped taking in "strays", so if the resident doesn't know we are here, what are they going to do with the pet?

We have had other towns and communities join our group to model their groups after Lost Pets of The Villages because of our success.

Stay tuned for the next edition of As the pets turn to learn about our procedures.

And YES!!! This is political. The fact that they never told anyone about us in the first place is the tell.
