Potcake Place K9 Rescue is a registered not for profit charity in the Turks & Caicos Islands, staffed solely by unpaid Volunteers and funded solely by donations.
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. The Bahama's Kennel Club recognizes the Potcake as a breed.
Potcake Place was started by Jane Parker-Rauw with the mission of reducing the number of homeless potcakes on the island. We still hope that we can work with the government and local community to do so, but it is a continuing challenge. Until we achieve this goal, Potcake Place will continue to rescue and home potcake pups found on the island.
There was no animal shelter in the Turks and Caicos. They look after these pups in their own homes until a permanent home can be found. Their policy is to house them for as long as it takes to find the best home.
This is the only alternative they can see to prevent them starving in the bush, being run over, intentionally poisoned, dying of heartworm, Ehrlicia, parvo or being euthanized.
Their headquarters are located in Saltmills Plaza in the Grace Bay area of Providenciales.
Potcake Place K9 Rescue is located at 40 Saltmills Plaza, Grace Bay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands.
