Welcome to THE VILLAGES. I wish you had checked before you moved here so that you wouldn't be so disappointed about the dog issue. I don't have a dog but I do love them and This is well into my eighth year living and owning here. During that time I have run into many, many, many dogs and their owners and most of them were doing just great following the rules. I would guess that at least a third, maybe more, Villagers own pets. And they are allowed to.

I would also wager that more than 90 percent pick up after their animals.

But....there isn't much anyone can do to change a selfish and inconsiderate human being who does not care enough to keep his/her surroundings clean.

So try to focus on the positive and don't lose sight that this is one of the cleanest and safest places to live on this earth.
