* EvilPlan: In nearly every episode of the first season, Katrina Stoneheart had a scheme to shut down the Puppy Pound or harm or inconvenience the Pound Puppies in general. In the second season, where she became the owner of the pound with Cooler, Bright Eyes, Whopper, and Nose Marie on the run, she still comes up with schemes to harm dogs, but her new main goal is to capture the four Pound Puppies.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The episode "Where Do Puppies Come From?" features Cooler singing a song to explain, well, where do puppies come from to Whopper and Bright Eyes. The song is accompanied by a "stage play" in which two dogs are clearly seen laying together in a bed inside a Venetian gondole (after which Cooler trips and brings down the stage, knocking the two dogs off the bed and revealing that they are not wearing anything). Is almost a case of RefugeInAudacity, especially for a mid-1980s cartoon.
** The Brazilian dub of the episode actually got away with Bright Eyes mentioning that puppies come from their mother's vagina, instead of her tummy as in the original.
