You can visit this tropical Island abundant with puppies

If you’re a dog fan, this will be your ultimate dream holiday destination.

Welcome to Potcake Place, a dog rescue centre located in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands.

Potcake Place was created with a mission to reduce the number of homeless potcake dogs on the Island.

According to their website, visitors are welcome to come by the centre anytime and spend time with the dogs.

“We have a constant stream of puppies needing socialization and adoption,” reads a statement on the website. “You can come by and take a puppy out to the beach- we'll give you everything you need, you just need to supply some TLC.”

when your passion strikes you like an arrow through the heart, it becomes one with you and you, with it. 💘 dog rescue is part of me now and it's always on my mind, so naturally I had to visit this awesome rescue organization about 15 minutes from our hotel here in Turks and see what they were all about...and WALK PUPPIESSSS, DUH 🐶. this is Ceren, and he's an adorable, adoptable potcake. 'potcake' is the name given to the mixed-breed indigenous dogs of the Caribbean and it derives from the crust formed on the bottom of cooking pans which the locals fed to these stray pups. Potcake Place takes in hundreds of these puppies and their parents each year of the estimated couple thousand potcakes on the islands. they put them into local foster homes, adopt them out locally and adopt them out to America with pretty great frequency. they also do free spay/neuter clinics in partnership with other orgs here and from the states, which does a lot of good to help stop the reckless over-breeding of these pups. what's especially cool is their door is open for visitors to the island (like me) to come volunteer by walking, bathing & playing with the pups...or even carrying one with you back to the states if there is an adopter waiting for their puppy to be transported! the shop was buzzing with visitors when I was there and all of the puppies got walks. happy I got the chance to check them out and walk this sweet boy. thanks, Potcake Place! 😊 #youhadmeatpuppies #bettertogether #rescuefosteradopt #bethechange #livewhatyoulove

Until the non-profit organization reaches it's goal to reduce the number of homeless potcakes, Potcake Place will continue to rescue and home potcake pups found on the island.
