The hip red pound puppy with studded collar

Pound Puppies were a fad toy of the 1980s that were a spin-off concept from the popular Cabbage Patch Dolls. The puppies were a variety of plush stuffed dog dolls with floppy ears and droopy eyes. They came in a variety of colors, some with spots. Each one came in a carrying case with adoption papers. A cartoon television show was created based on the fad and a new orange colored puppy with a Hawaiian shirt on was created to make the line more "hip". Smaller versions were also created (approximately 5 inches long), and a line of cats called "Pound Purries" was also released. Each authentic puppy had a heart shaped emblem near its tail that sported a "PP" logo with either a dog (Puppies) or cat (Purries) peeking around it.

Theme Song Lyrics

We're Pound Puppies!
Cooler and the crew
Whopper, Bright Eyes, Nose Marie
Helping pupparoos!
For every puppy in town,
A happy home will be found
We are Pound Puppies
We’ll find a pup for you!
You Pound Puppies
I hate them yes I do
Ewwwwwww! Pound Puppies!
They’re yucky, icky, poo!
Soon I’ll catch every pup
And then I’ll lock ‘em all up.
You Pound Puppies
Your rebel days are through!
We're Pound Puppies
We're loving and true blue
Yo Pound Puppies!
With Puppy Power too
For every puppy we pet,
A happy home he will get
We're Pound Puppies.
We wanna go home with you!
Howler howls, then the gang sings "Please take us home".

Please Adopt Pound Puppies (1049 words)
It is completely reasonable to expect to find a pound puppy at a shelter that will bring you years of happiness as a beautiful, loyal pet.
Puppies are brought in by the boxful, usually to die of diseases they catch while in the pound before they even have the chance to be put to sleep.
While you're at the pound, you should look for clear eyes (cloudy eyes are an indication of many health problems), noses that aren't dripping anything strange, and a generally healthy look.
Pound Puppies @ Toonarific Cartoons (259 words)
Pound Puppies were originally a line of adorable stuffed doggies who "desperately needed a home." Much like the concept behind the Cabbage Patch dolls, the toy makers used the adoption angle to sell Pound Puppies like mad.
Blessed with “puppy power,” Millicent was able to talk to the dogs and keep abreast of their goings on.
Pound Puppies may have begun simply as a way to sell toys, but the sharp writing of the series set it apart from its like-themed competition, The Care Bears or My Little Pony.
