Save The Exuma Potcake Pups

The island of Exuma has many stray dogs, known as "potcakes." These poor animals are some times pets that were left behind to fend for themselves, others were just born as strays and are just looking for someone to love them. Left unspayed and unneutered, you can imagine the population explosion. One unspayed female, her mate and her subsequent unspayed offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in just 6 years! The population of dogs would exceed people, but most don't have a fair chance at a good life. Many die at very young ages due to disease, starvation, getting hit by vehicles, or sadly, from poison. We are working hard to educate every one on the importance of pet care, including spay/neuter, vaccinations and regular vet visits. Unfortunately, many of these pups aren't owned and have no one to take care of them. We need your help to ensure that these animals have a better quality of life, free from starvation or preventable diseases that are often causes by tick or mosquito bites. Catching the strays and getting them to the vet for spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping and deworming helps alleviate much suffering. Strays are then sent to foster homes, if available, until they are able to be adopted. None are euthanized. They are helped as much as possible, subject only to funding limitations. This is a massive and expensive project, with a goal of eliminating suffering, starvation and disease for these adorable, friendly and loyal animals. Food, meds and supplies are costly, and your donations are needed to continue this worthy project. All donations received will be used to purchase medicines, vaccines and supplies to allow these beautiful loyal pups a happy and healthy existence. We will update often, including photos of our success stories. Thanks for reading and helping. All donations are appreciated, and no donation is too small to help. Friends of Humane Society Exuma, Inc. is a Florida non profit organization, 501 (c)3 pending, comprised entirely of volunteers, seeking to make a difference in the lives of these sweet, smart, loyal and loving animals.
