Potcakes are mutts that live on the various islands in the Carribean (most specifically,
Grand Bahama Island). They usually have short hair and are medium in size.
Potcake is the Bahamian term for the congealed food that remains on the bottom of a pot after it has been reheated several times. Dirty pots were often left outside to be licked clean by the indigenous dogs, hence the name, Potcake.
Over the years, the Potcake problem beame so large, tourists took notice and encouraged the government to get involved in the welfare of the animals. Frances Hayward, an employee at the Bahamian Humane Society, takes pride in sponsoring a campaign that promotes kindness to Caribbean strays. The Bahamian Humane Society also has a Potcake Adoption Program and low cost spay and neuter services.
PAL (Potcake Adoption League) also rescues stray animals and adopts them out to loving homes not only in the Bahamas but in the United States as well.
