Spread the Word"I adopted a potcake from South Caicos Island in August 2005. They really are incredible dogs: Annie is so well behaved, and smart! I just can't say enough good things about her-- people approach me on the street to ask what breed of dog she is, and friends ask where they can find a dog like her. I'll direct them to your website! Just wanted to say congratulations on the good work that your organization is doing."
Brothers Reunited"Sean and Provo, two brothers (and absolutely identical twins!) were recently reunited in Boston. They recognized each other immediately, and played together in much the same way as they had as pups! It was an absolutely glorious reunion! When Provo went home, Sean curled up into a ball and cried and cried. He was reassured that he'd be seeing Provo again soon, as we plan to celebrate their first birthdays together in March! It was SO beautiful seeing the brothers together again!"
Boston, Mass.
Puppy Classes"Ty just attended his first puppy kindergarten class. He is about 3 ½ months now. He did GREAT! He has a beautiful puppy sit and did great paying attention to me once the class got started. After only about 15-20 minutes of “class” they got to get off their leads and have some good old fashioned puppy play time. I was so proud of him. I got a little emotional watching him play with all his new friends and be a part of a pack again. It was beautiful! He is a sweetheart and I feel so thankful for him."
Connecticut
Well Behaved Girls"Adorable Blaze and Ashley made the trip to Chicago without a hitch! They slept most of the way and people on the plane didn't even know that they were there until I told them. Both girls are eating very well and love treats and their new chew toys. They enjoy play time in their new backyard and visits with friends. Everyone comments on how sweet and well behaved they are. We really appreciate your amazing work and will keep you posted on their progress!"
Chicago, Illinois
Our Hospice Potcake"Violet enjoyed her first Christmas with us. She helped open some presents. I have taken her to the hospice I work at with me. She comes every day. Our residents just love her and a nurse takes her on rounds with her. Violet's calm ways has brought so much joy to our terminal residents. She senses their limits and adjusts herself accordingly. She loves the gardens and has marked a few special plants as hers. We have a huge staff and I am known to many people as Violet's mom. Everyone has heard of her. She is our hospice dog. My boss has been very supportive of Violet and enjoys having her around. I am very blessed. Having Violet in my life has added so much and I just could not imagine not having her. Thank you again for giving us Violet, she is truly a gift. She naturally attracts people to her. Take care!"
Burlington, Ontario
We have Snow!"We have snow! Ginger is like a kid in a candy store...running thru it, so playful. She is in and out...I need a revolving door! It is hilarious to watch...her coat has really thickened up so I don't think the temperatures will be an issue. So wonderful to watch them when they discover something new...."
Toronto, Ontario
Colder Climes"Ace & Chloe are brother & sister who we adopted in April 2005. They are loving, loyal and wonderful as you would imagine. We have relocated to Vermont (April 2006) and I would like to report that they are adjusting to the colder climate like pros. Two plane rides and long road trips were handled with ease, by these two inseperable siblings. They go to doggie day care if we are working and have continued to acclimate to their New England surroundings making many friends along the way. If there is anything I could offer to help place potcakes in my surrounding area I would be happy to do so. THANK YOU for the work you do!"
Two Potcakes"Kipper's first vet visit here in the States went great. He weighs 18.5 lbs. They all loved him and thought he was doing well. Heidi and Kipper have a few moments of challenge but for the most part are really coming along. I feel very lucky to have both!" Helen, North Carolina.
Patch on Provo"'Blue' is doing very well. He spent the entire day/evening at my side. He seems happy. He is so loving and is always trying to cuddle. He is so sweet natured and I am so thankful that he has joined my family. Roxy doesn't LOOOOOVE him YET...but I can tell she really likes him. Thank you for saving him...I promise he will be happy from here on out!"
Providenciales.
Bay goes Home"Bay has been a hit by everyone who sees her, and I tell them all about the potcakes and your group. She is eating fine and is alert, playful and very adorable. She went to work with me today and everyone loved her. She enjoyed everyone she met and slept most of the day as she is while I'm writing this. We also went to the vet and of course they all love her, then to the pet store where she acquired more fans. Bay was so happy to see Katie and wants to play but Katie keeps her distance for now. Hope to send photos soon. Thank you all so much for my Bay." Tricia, St Simons Island, GA.
New York City"Zena and Foxy are doing FANTASTIC! They had their first walk today in New York City and went to the dog run and met tons of other dogs. They did great. My Pitt-bull, CoCo is a grand dame so they follow her. She's the leader and puts them in their place when necessary. Charlie my mutt Chihuahua likes them OK. But the one who LOVES them is Cleopatra, one of our five cats. She licks them and smells them. Zena and Foxy are beside themselves. They fit right in. Even expect a bit of pampering now, thank you very much."
New York City,
In the Snow"We fell in love with the Potcakes on our first trip to Provo four years ago, but since we live in the mountains of NC (ski resort area) we thought it would be too cold for island dogs. A chance encounter with Heidi (see her own success story) and we found out that many Potcakes go to Canada. What a great chance encounter that turned out to be! Thanks to two very sweet ladies from Pittsburgh who volunteered to be couriers, we now have our puppies. They are learning quickly and are incredibly sweet...I think somehow they know they were saved from a very hard life and they seem so appreciative. They love to wrestle and play and even though Flash has the size advantage, Dellis seems to always come out on top! I’m so glad we adopted them together!" North Carolina.
LA Bound Hound"Thank you for everthing! Swiper, now "Caico", is at his new home doing well. We took him to the vet today and what a small world! His new doctor is responsible for setting up the vet clinic in the Turks and Caicos islands. He loves Caico too! I don't think I've ever loved one creature so much in my life...wish we were still there but we have the best daily reminder! Talk to you soon!" Julie and Marc, Los Angeles.
Flying Colours!"Thank you so much for your help with our adoption of Molly. She made the trip back to Dallas with flying colors! She is now having fun exploring our house, yard and her big yellow lab friend, Charlotte." Dallas, Texas.

It has to be said, it's quite hard to find something that is actually made here in The Turks and Caicos Islands. But two of the best things that are made here are Potcakes and Local Artwork. We are now able to combine the two.  
We are pleased to offer, on a limited basis one of a kind original art from Turks and Caicos Artist Phillip Outten. Phillip will produce an original piece of Art in your choice of Watercolor or Acrylic. If you would like to commision Phillip to produce a painting of your Potcake Please email us for details.
This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
with the subject "Artwork" Good things take time, so please remember that when ordering your piece.  
About the Artist.... Phillip Outten Phillip was born on the island of Grand Turk in The Turks and Caicos Islands. After attending art school in Jamaica he branched out on his own.
Forty Five year old Phillip Outten sees life through the oceans of the Caribbean
His paintings hang in many homes. But the soft spoken artist is also a horseman; he grew up around the horses that have roamed Grand Turk since the times of the Bermudian salt rakers. Those early settlers shipped the animals there to provide transportation. Stardust was Phillips’s first horse, but he admits that all the horses on Grand Turk have a place in his heart. He knows them all, and has taken care of and ridden many of them.After some time spent away from the islands, Phillip is back home and trying to reestablish himself. His passion for Island animals shows in his paintings. From the roaming ponies to the stray Potcakes, Phillip adds his own Island spirit to every painting he produces.

"while vacationing in the cayman islands several years ago we found a half-dead pup on the beach that was being taken by animal control to be put down...she looked at us and we at her and that was it...we spent every dime we had to get her back to the states and home to Tennessee with us...our wonderful Cayman was with us for 15 years and such a precious member of our family; i normally rescue cats and always have a pretty full house but i have to tell you these wonderful island dogs are SOOOO appreciative and do everything but talk....
when Cayman died at 15 of cancer my heart was broken and my husband, without my knowledge, contacted the humane society in the caymans and had a pup flown to us...little seanna is a mess but not a day goes by that i am not happy we rescued her.......to anyone wondering if they should i do this I can assure the benefits so far outweigh all else...."

OR.... MR MUTT-LEE (as he was known to special friends) 
1993-2007
It is with great sadness that we are Mourning the loss of a beautiful and much loved member of our Potcake family today. Our beloved Volunteers and amazing foster parents Tammy and Colin said goodbye to Mr. Mutt-Lee after 14 and a half wonderful years together.  
He spent his life making sure everyone understood how to LOVE. He was the best known puppy potcake on Grace Bay before he came to live with his forever family.
He loved beach walks, boat rides with Capt Bill, picnics and going out with the horses. He even put up with countless foster puppies running around his home in later life, taking his toys and stealing his food and treats. He adored his beloved sister Maxine and is now running over rainbow bridge with her now. Mutley, you made a big impact on all those that loved you. You will be sadly Missed.
