== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Hotel For Dogs]]''. "At least it's better than the pound." Also presents pound workers gloating about euthanising dogs after a day, just to drive the point home.
* ''The Shaggy D.A.'' had a dog pound scene, presented very like a prison, where he escaped with the help of the other dogs.
* In the movie ''[[Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey]]'', the animal shelter is initially portrayed like this—but only from the animals' point of view, as it's revealed that {{spoiler|the shelter was trying to contact their owners, and had the animals ''not'' escaped they would have been reunited sooner.}} They also removed the porcupine quills lodged in Chance's face. Chance himself was rescued from a pound by his owner, which probably explains his severe hatred of "that bad place".
* The 1995 movie ''Fluke'' not only has a Prison Pound, it also has an Evil Research Lab. And did we mention that the titular dog is a reincarnated ''human''?

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* An early episode of ''[[Eerie, Indiana]]'' involved a dog pound, and a boy whose dental bracers could detect (and translate) the dogs' language. It was implied that an ominous room at the end of the hall was where they put dogs to sleep, and the dogs were organizing some kind of rebellion.
* In ''[[Married... with Children]]'', when Buck runs away and ends up in the pound, it's very prison-ish, complete with harmonica-playing pooch and a "religious" pup ready to administer the last rites.
* In an episode of ''[[Wishbone]]'', Wishbone is placed in the pound after having been found without his collar. He initially views it like this, but then he falls in love with a female dog there. At this point, his owner shows up and provides an [[Unwanted Rescue]].
