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.
Seth (M) / 1 year / Neutered
-
Neutered: Y // Dogs: Y // Kids: Y (older)

At first, Seth can be a little shy - loud noises, sudden movements, or busy places can make him nervous. But once he learns he can trust you, his true personality shines through: goofy, bouncy, playful, and full of endearing nose-boops.
He loves toys, playing with his people & dogs, naps (he’s the perfect work from home pal!), exploring parks, anything to do with food, and the occasional cuddle.
Seth is wonderful with other dogs and would thrive with a well-balanced canine sibling to show him the ropes and help him build confidence.
This cute boy is crate trained, house trained, and great on leash in quieter areas (even braver when paired with a confident dog friend!).
Because of his nervous nature, Seth’s ideal home is a quieter one. His perfect family will be patient, gentle, and committed to helping him continue to gain confidence. In return, they’ll get a sweet & silly boy who just needs a little time to show how special he really is.
Jack (M) / 3 years / Neutered
-
Neutered: Y // Dogs: Y // Kids: Y (older)

Jack is an adult dog with a playful, cheeky, puppy-like personality. He loves chasing his ball, going for walks, and showing off his wiggle-jumps when excited, but he’s also a champion napper who sleeps soundly on his mat at night and relaxes quietly during the day. One of his favorite pastimes is keeping watch—either sitting at the front door waiting for his people to come home or patio-watching bunnies and squirrels.
Jack walks beautifully on leash, knows sit, drop it, leave it, and leave it, and thrives with mental stimulation.
He’s in great health, up to date on preventatives, and keeps a healthy weight. A yard is a bonus but not required—what Jack needs are daily walks and outings to parks, nature trails, or open spaces to run and play.
He can be nervous with loud noises or new people, but calms with reassurance. Visitors should give him space at first, then he warms up with wiggles and treats. Jack enjoys many dogs but can be selective, so a meet-and-greet is required.
Ideal home: A calm, patient family with structure, routine, and time for walks and play. In return, Jack will bring loyalty, joy, and his big puppy heart.
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.
