For about 2 hours each day, puppies (with their handlers) roam the beach to meet and greet guests of Grace Bay! It is adorable and the guests love it! Not to worry if you are not a puppy fan; their handlers are there! But who doesn’t love puppies!

The organization is known as Potcakes Place. The goal of the 2 hour beach walks is to socialize these puppies, give them exercise and of course! they are available for adoption.
But why are these puppies called Potcakes? Potcake is the name given to the dogs of the Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos Islands. It came about because the locals fed the caked remains of the cooking pot to the dogs. As generations have passed, Potcakes have evolved into a breed which is extremely smart, loyal and loving.
Potcakes are rescued from around the islands of the Turks & Caicos by Potcake Place Rescue. Litters of puppies as well as individual pups are found wandering without their littermates.
The Potcake handlers even have a system in place to help guests of Turks and Caicos take these puppies home with them from vacation! So not to worry if you are here and decide to leave with a bit of love!
How can you help Potcakes K9 Rescue? Book a villa stay with Dreams R Forever and bring items on your vacation to donate. Volunteer to bring the puppies for a romp on Grace Bay Beach. Become a travel buddy and bring a puppy on a plane ride to his new home. Or just bring one home for you to love!
Here is a Wish List from Potcakes K9 Rescue:
– Esbillac puppy formula please, we have lots of little one & this is difficult to buy on island!
– airline approved dog carry bags (for pets up to 22 lbs is ideal)
– fuzzy toys for the pups to play & cuddle with
– metal bowls for food & water
– Disposable (Surgical Gloves) Size X-Large, Large, Medium
– Water Proof Aprons for bathing pups
– puppy pee pee pads
– Drontal Plus dewormer and heartworm medicines (these can be expired – we’re not picky!!)
– Nexgard – to help out with the spay neuter program (these can be expired)
– old towels
– laundry pods – these are expensive on island and won’t leak in your luggage!
Of course, monetary donations are always welcome – either in person or via Potcake Place’s website.
Bring home some Love from Turks and Caicos!
