There are a few Mobile Vets in The Villages, which come to your home. Dr. Angel Smith, 352-470-9537, is one of them.

I would respectfully suggest that if you are seriously considering a dog, that you choose an older rescue dog which is already toilet trained. I think a puppy would be difficult for you to handle. There are many wonderful rescue dogs available, all sizes, all breeds.

There is a private dog park on CR 101 in the northern quadrant. It costs $30 per month. When your dog goes potty, you put a flag down, and they pick up the poop. There are great social opportunities to sit in a group and chat while the dogs play together.
