Adopt a Potcake

"Potcake" is the name given to the dogs of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands, and they are cute as heck. They're called potcakes because the locals would feed the caked remains of peas and rice in the cooking pots to the wild dogs. The feral population of potcakes is growing, with at least ten thousand stray dogs on the Islands, and they need your help. Potcakes have evolved into a breed which is extremely smart, loyal, and loving -- and too many are in need of a good home. They're great with children and usually grow up to an average of 50lb. Although appearance varies, potcake dogs generally have smooth coats, cocked ears, and long faces. The dogs have been given vaccines and wormers and there is no charge for adoption, although donations are accepted to help continue the volunteer-based potcake rescue program. Airlines usually charge around $100 for the pup to travel in the cabin. Adopt a potcake on your next Turks and Caicos vacation and bring one of these beautiful babies home with you.

  1. The potcakes are really the most adorable pups you will find anywhere! Here I am with one who was at Green Bean Cafe almost every morning when I went to get my coffee. I was ready to adopt Jojo on the spot.
