Abaco Shelter is home to many loveable Potcakes
The facility in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas houses mostly adult dogs, but we occasionally have puppies as well. There are about 20 wonderful Potcakes just waiting for their forever family! If you are interested in any of the dogs below, please contact us for more information.
Our goal is to rescue, rehabilitate, re-home and improve the lives of as many Abaco Potcakes as possible. We provide spay and neuter services to those who cannot afford it to reduce the suffering of the abandoned and roaming dog population. Over the years Abaco Shelter has rescued, provided medical care, spayed, neutered and adopted out several hundred of our furry friends. Thank you for your support!
