  • Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make your day better

    With so much going on in the world, it is so nice to be able to have something that you can listen to that will bring your attention to the good that is going on around us.

Q: What would someone need to do to get involved as a volunteer or adopter?
There are over 160 volunteers with different roles, from puppy fostering to weekend volunteers and therapy teams. People can apply via the Domesti-PUPS website, indicating whether they have their own dog or want to help with theirs, and they go through a matching and training process that can involve a waitlist.
0615: Domesti-PUPS with Merri Hackbarth
Q: Tell us a little bit about what Domesti-PUPS does.
We train service dogs, including seizure alert and mobility support, professional therapy dogs for offices or facilities, and a general therapy program for the public. We also operate an adoptables program and run education and outreach through school partnerships and community events.
0705: Author Tara Atkins
Q: How do you balance a serious topic like animal welfare with a hope-filled ending for children?
Tara explains that the book presents the realities of stray dogs but culminates in a hopeful message of adoption and care, using the puppy's perspective to make the themes accessible to kids while maintaining a positive, uplifting ending that reinforces the value of empathy and responsible action.
0705: Author Tara Atkins
Q: What inspired you to write Found, A Potcake Puppy Story, and how did your trip to Nevis influence the portrayal of the dogs?
The inspiration came when Tara woke up with Nevis' voice in her head and began writing a story that could be read as a heartfelt thank you to her in‑laws and to the island dogs. The Nevis trip provided the setting, the mood, and the real-life experiences with rescue dogs that shaped the plot and the emotional arc of the puppy and its mentor.
0705: Author Tara Atkins
Q: Tell us what a potcake puppy is and why that term is meaningful on the islands.
A potcake puppy refers to island dogs whose food scraps are baked into the local tradition; Tara explains that potcakes are just island dogs that have learned to survive on communal scraps, and the term reflects the dogs' resilience and the culture of care on the islands, which she has woven into the narrative of Found.
