There’s an ISLAND dedicated to caring for rescue puppies
A tropical island filled with rescue puppies? Have our dreams come true? We think so.
Because what's better than beautiful landscapes, sunny skies and an abundance of pups that need care and love? Nothing. Nothing is better, we tell you.
On the island of Providenciales in Turks & Caicos there is a charity dedicated to re-homing and caring for 'potcake' puppies, a mixed breed of Labrador Retriver, German Shepherd and English Fox Terriers that are currently over-bred and over-populated in the Caribbean.
On average, the shelter houses between 50-70 puppies at any time. They make sure all of the dogs receive their vaccinations, are in tip top shape.
They even arrange certification for the pups to travel, and say "if an adoption goes ahead, we help book the pup on the plane, and meet the families at the airport”.
However, if you're not in a position to adopt a puppy, you're more than welcome to come onto the island and play with the dogs because they benefit hugely from human interaction.
To adopt a pup, you have to be over the age of 25 and commit to caring for it for 10-15 years.
To adopt is free, but the rescue centre does ask for a donation, which we believe it fair enough.
