Please keep all small pets indoors and be on the lookout for the dogs. If you see them, please call 911.
Thank you!

Sorry to hear about your neighbor's cat, Kate.
As to some of the other comments on this thread:
We had an abandoned Beagle roaming around in our neighborhood about 6 months back. Last month, Doggie Doo Run Run ( private dog park on CR101 near its junction with CR104) had two lab mixes a good Samaritan coaxed off CR101. These two dogs had wandered from their home around CR42 after digging out from their backyard. They had wandered a good two miles or more. Dogs with owners do get loose here in the Villages. And, you have to keep your eyes out for pets who have broken off their leash or got loose in some other way. My own dog took a 3 hour adventure when a house guest did not secure the front door after leaving our then empty house.
Could be these two "boxers" were abandoned or lost.
A pair of boxers were often walked in our Lynnhaven neighborhood by a woman who looked like she would have trouble handling them if they took off after a rabbit or feral cat. She now only walks with a single and its looks like a new younger boxer.
A dog walker in our immediate area of the Villages broke her wrist trying to control her mastiff like dog after it wanted to attack a toy poodle of another Villagers dog walker. The toy poodle was badly mauled.
A coyote often wanders in a field not more than a few blocks from the Lynnhaven pool.
