History WesternAnimation / PoundPuppies2010

The series ran from October 2010 to November 2013 airing a total of [[SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon 65 episodes]] in 3 seasons, and as of today, no plans for a fourth season have been confirmed.

A number of episodes can now be found on DVD:

* CanadaEh:
** The Royal Canadian Pound Puppies in "Homeward Pound".
--> '''Agent Todd:''' Oh, geez. We're zero-for-two. Or oh-for-two as you'd say, eh?
** The musher Jean-Luc Glaciaire in "Snow Problem" is the French Canadian version.
--> '''Jean-Luc:''' Sorry about that, there.
** Rover [[spoiler: the SewerGator]] in "The Really Weird Dog". He even says "aboot".
** Lucky also sometimes has shades of this, due to his voice actor, Eric [=McCormack=], being Canadian. He will spout out an "abote" from time to time.

* CatsAreMean: Not always.

--> '''Lucky:''' If [[TimmyInAWell Timmy was stuck in the bottom of the well]], would you just walk away?
--> '''Niblet:''' [[Series/{{Lassie}} Who's Timmy?]]
--> '''Squirt:''' Beats me.

--> '''Pepper:''' [[Film/LethalWeapon I'm getting too old for this]] [[GoshDarnItToHeck nonsense]].

* CanonWelding: The ComicBook/HasbroComicUniverse title ''ComicBook/{{Revolutionaries}}'' implied Lucky was the childhood dog of Mike Power (who later joined the Adventure Team, predecessor to the G.I. Joe task force). When Mike owned him (it was implied he later ran away) his name was "Smarts".

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In "Good Dog, [=McLeish=]," when discussing how [=McLeish=] has been hypnotised into thinking he's a dog:
-->'''Lucky:''' Look, I don't care ''whose'' fault it is. I just wanna know how we fix him!\\

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In "Good Dog, [=McLeish=], when discussing how [=McLeish=] has been hypnotised into thinking he's a dog:

** Dolores's editor-in-chief dad in "Working K-9 to 5" greatly resembles [[Franchise/SpiderMan J. Jonah Jameson]], even sharing his speech pattern. They even share the [[ActorAllusion same voice actor]] Creator/JKSimmons.

* {{Nerd}}:
** Captain Randy in the episode "Zoltron". [[GeekPhysiques Fat physique]], dressed in a uniform similar to those from ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'', paused like Kirk, had a "Captain's Log", wanted to mind-meld with the titular dog, watched "[[Franchise/StarTrek Star]] [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyage:]] [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space 90]]", referred to [[BasementDweller his mother's garage]] as the Autopod, excited over seeing a [[spoiler:phony]] flying saucer (even going so far as to say he was okay with the beings in the saucer experimenting on him). And this line, after the saucer disappeared [[spoiler:and Zoltron escaped]]:
--> '''Captain Randy:''' The biggest night of my life, and I'm left with nothing at all. Just like prom.
** Mr. Geekman (yes, that's his name) from the episode "Taboo" is another. Skinny with large frame glasses, the clumsy bicycle-riding math teacher had been searching for the "perfect as pi" puppy for seven years. At least he's married.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The episode "Mutternal Instincts" features an African Wild Dog among a crowd of dogs.

* LickingFoodOffTheFloor: In "The Ruff Ruff Bunch," the dogs make a couple drop their ice cream cones on the floor, then lick the mess up.

* AbsenteeActor: Cookie is nowhere to be seen or mentioned in the episode, "The Pups Who Loved Me". In fact, Lucky is the only member of the main 5 to be prominently featured in the episode (the other three only appear briefly near the beginning of the episode).
** Alluded in "Hail to the Chief": Before the team departs for the White House, Niblet asks where Cookie and Squirt are, and Lucky tells him that they're staying behind to watch over the pound while they're gone.

* OneSteveLimit: Broken in "Taboo". After declaring newly adopted Taboo the best thing that's happened to him in a long time, Mr. Geekman (see Hollywood Nerd above) gave Taboo the new name of... Lucky. (After team leader Lucky's dismissal of the idea his name having any bearing on his ability to find puppies homes earlier in the episode, this coincidence was not lost on the rest of the team.)

* AdultFear: A canine equivalent anyway, but several episodes involve worries and fears that a pup or two might be in a lot of trouble or peril. The most prominent example is "Pound Preemies" wherein the Pound Puppies help a pregnant dog give birth, only for her newborns to get lost in their attempt to transport them to the vet.

* SmallParentHugeChild: Leonard McLeish is an average-sized adult man, and he dwarfs his elderly mother Agatha.
