OPERATION “POTCAKE” 2014
A Spay Neuter project of the Bahamian Humane Society & Animal Balance is underway “as we speak.” A “Potcake” is the crusty leftover that remains in the bottom of a pot of rice. People fed it to the stray dogs around their property. These lovely dogs have since become known as “Potcakes”. Be amazed & inspired as you watch the video of “Operation Potcake 2013” under “recent posts.” http://www.operationpotcake.com
