* Cooler, leader with a trademark laugh.

* Nose Marie, a melodramatic [[Southern Belle]] bloodhound.

 

The sister line of toys, ''Pound Purries'', never had the luxury of a T.V. special or series. They did make a token appearance in [[The Movie]] as supporting characters, though.

 

----

* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Brattina had [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|a very obvious crush on Captain Slaughter]], much to his annoyance.

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Four episodes of the first season featured Captain Slaughter, a [[Inspector Gadget|Dr. Claw]]-esque villain who was responsible for destroying the puppies' home in the first place and was Cooler's greatest enemy. When the show was retooled in its second season, he disappeared, his storyline never resolved.

* [[Shout-Out]]:

** In "Snow Problem", after the team had a rough first day of sled racing, Lucky tried a pep talk:

'''Squirt:''' Beats me. }}

** In "The K9 Kid", the featured puppy of the episode wanted to become a police dog. Upon approaching some rambunctious fellow future adoptees who have broken a garden gnome, she said:

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: In the episode "Rebel Without A Collar", the tough Cookie decides to leave the team {{spoiler|to roam the desert with Fang, a wily coyote who was captured in the desert and brought back to Shelter 17}}.

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Niblet saw his sister Rebound as one in the episode "Rebound". {{spoiler|At first.}}

'''Lucky:''' Dog you LOVE?! The only thing {{spoiler|coyotes}} love is themselves!

{{spoiler|'''Fang:'''}} Watch it, pal!

'''Cookie:''' '''KNOCK IT OFF! ALL OF YOU!!''' }}

* [[Big No]]: Yipper, once the boy he connected with left without adopting him in "The Great Yipper Caper." {{spoiler|Come on. You ''do'' know the kid adopted him in the end, right?}}

'''Niblet''': Um...did I say 'creepy?' 'Cause I meant *thinks for a minute* 'sleepy!' Yeah, I meant sleepy-looking. }}

* [[Little Girls Kick Shins]]: McLeish knows that firsthand about his niece, Tabitha (from "A Nightmare On Pound Street").

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Perhaps pushed ever so much closer to being discredited. In "Homeward Pound", Squirt was struggling to keep from hitting the bottom of a waterfall.

{{quote|'''Squirt:''' ''(after realizing he didn't fall all the way down the cascade)'' I'm alive? ''(sees bear that saves him)'' AAH! I'm gonna die!}}

* [[Timmy in a Well]]: In the episode "Snow Problem", Tundra dug out a competing sled dog and musher Jean-Luc Glacier, then made his way down a cliff to attach a hook to allow Lucky and his team to pull up a second dog. While it is a fact of the Pound Puppies universe that dogs (among other animals) are smarter and more capable than humans realize, [[The Masquerade|they rarely act so intelligently in front of people]]. Hence while Lucky was impressed, Glacier was even more so.

* [[Ugly Cute]]: Used in-universe by the Mayor to describe newly-adopted Freddy in "A Nightmare on Pound Street". (The exact description was reversed: "cute ugly".)

* [[When You Coming Home, Dad?]]: When Lucky was a puppy, his father would be gone for hours or even days at a time, until one day he left for good. (Also see Disappeared Dad and Daddy Had A Good Reason For Abandoning You [includes a spoiler].)

* [[Won't Take Yes for An Answer]]: Strudel in "Dogs On A Wire". After expressing her frustration on not going on missions, Lucky offers her the chance to help lost dog Chuckles return to the circus.
