Our Pups

The pups at Potcake Puppy Palace are young and vulnerable, often found in dire situations at an extremely young age. They wouldn’t survive in a typical shelter environment such as a humane society, so our amazing Claire Cash (Mama Claire), founder and puppy caregiver,  and our dedicated volunteers in the Bahamas will often bottle feed and nurse our puppies back to health until they are healthy and old enough to be adopted. We make sure that each litter has frequent visits to the Bahamas Humane Society to visit the vet for routine checks and vaccines. 

Our pups are raised with the litter in which they are found and have their own isolated area at the shelter to ensure a safe and healthy environment. They receive hands-on medical care at the shelter as well as lots of cuddles and love from many local volunteers. This is unique to other shelter or stray situations because these pups are given the opportunity to be raised with socialization and love which innately gives them a sweet and loving nature towards humans. 

As soon as a litter is healthy and old enough, and we have the availability to transport them, we bring them to Canada and match them with fosters while they wait to find their forever home.


Meet some of our pups who are currently living with their foster families & are ready to be adopted.

Bravo (M) / 1 year / Neutered

  • Neutered: Y // Dogs: Y // Kids: Y (older)

  • Our shy boy Bravo is starting to come out of his shell and showing his curious, outgoing side. He would make a great adventure companion for any family.

    >Crate trained, potty trained, neutered.

    >Enjoys being around other dogs and has been exposed to older children

    >Quick learner when it comes to training. He has already mastered come, leave it, inside, breakfast time and dinner time.

    >Loves to be outside and roll in the grass.

    He absolutely loves his stuffies...and loves unstuffing his stuffies

    Bravo is a happy little guy who loves to remind you of his goofy puppy side. He is looking for a patient, loving family to give him the forever home he deserves.

Zelda (F) / 2 years / Spayed

  • Spayed: Y // Dogs: Y // Cats: Y

  • Zelda is an active, loving, and playful girl looking for her best friend and forever home.

    Quick stats:

    -Needs an active household, ideally with a backyard

    -Potty trained, crate trained, leash trained

    -Knows basic commands like sit, down, paw, stay and leave it

    -Dog & cat friendly

    This beautiful, sweet & loving girl has had a long journey trying to find the perfect place and people to spend her life with. Could it be with you?

Arugula (F) / 3.5 months

  • Spayed: N // Dogs: Y

  • Arugula is a social butterfly who gets along great with other dogs. Her foster brother, a much larger pup, has been teaching her the ropes, and she's been keeping up like a champ! She’s also making strides with walking on a leash, learning from him as they stroll side by side.

    She is adjusting well to life in Canada, showing her bravery with sounds and people and remaining cautiously shy around new dogs when she's out and about.

    Arugula is still working on potty training and basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." She will take naps in her crate during the day, and sleeps through the night like a dream once she's settled. Her smart, eager-to-please nature means she'll keep impressing you every day.

    If you’re looking for an active, smart and fun-loving pup, Arugula is your girl!

Selah (F) / 6 months

  • Spayed: Y // Dogs: Y

  • Selah is your new best friend in the making! She is a sweet, gentle soul being fostered in Toronto.

    Selah is spayed, and at just 6-months-old she is sleeping soundly through the night, and making great strides with her house training! She's a polite little lady — sitting patiently for her meals and leash time, and she's mastering her walks with impressive manners.

    Selah loves a good game of catch with her tennis ball and is happiest when she has a toy in her mouth!

    She’s full of excitement and energy, but you’ll be amazed at how quietly she settles in once she feels at home. While she's still young and learning about new sounds, her barking is minimal and her independence shines — she’s happy to have her own space while still loving her people nearby.

    She’s great with other dogs, and while she’s not one for couch cuddles just yet, her trust and affection grow stronger every day.

    If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who will blossom with a little patience and a lot of love, Selah might just be the one for you

Interested in adopting one of these pups?

If you can’t adopt, foster.

Without our trusted fosters, we have nowhere for our pups to go until they can be matched with their adopter, often forcing us to leave them behind even if they have the opportunity to leave The Bahamas.
