I remember the first time I found out about Pound Puppies. I was at my grandfather's house in Indiana, when a commercial for the toys came on TV. I got excited. I was crazy for stuffed dogs at that time. I really wanted a Pound Puppy! I finally got one a few months later. A grey Bulldog. I loved that dog. I even wrote a story about him for a contest in a stuffed animal magazine I used to get. You were supposed to write a story about an adventure you and your Pound Puppy had had. The prize was a bunch of Pound Puppy merchandise. My tale involved me and my Pound Puppy walking in the woods, where we encountered Bigfoot. Of course my Pound Puppy chased him off before he could attack. Unfortunately I didn't win. I had a bunch of Pound Puppy stuff as well. A lunchbox, colorforms, an electric toothbrush. And I never missed the cartoon. Pound Puppies are one of my favorite 80s toys.

I too had a Pound Puppy. Mine was brown and was a companion of mine for a long time. I also had a small one that was gray in color that my aunt bought me as a premium from a fast food restaurant. My nephew took claim to them when he was little, and unfortunately, my niece took the brown one to use as a chew toy for her Siberian Husky when he was a pup. I sure miss my Pound Puppy, and wish I'd have said "NO" when my nephew begged me to let him take it home.

I had a bunch of these. One had a little red bow on top of her head.

I had the one that resembled Cooler from the cartoon!

i had so many of these. the big ones were great too. i also had the board game. so much fun.

i had the pound purries, the cat. it was grey, i loved thet thing

Rather than buy the ready made Pound Puppies, I got a pattern and made one (even bought the Logo to sew on it) for my daughter. The other day while going through boxes, we found hers, unfortunately,the mice had gotten into the box and destroyed not only her Pound Puppy but also the girl mouse I had made for her and the boy mouse I had made for her brother. We both mourned the losses as we ended up tossing the entire box of stuffed memories into the trash.

I still have my big white and black Pound Puppy and 3 small white and black ones. My mom was a Pound Puppy collector back in the day! We may still have more lying in the attic somewhere.

I had cooler. In the cartoons he was the leader of the pack. I loved the cartoons they came out with it.

My daughters are grown now. I had a pattern way back then and i have a bunch of cut up ready to sew ones but somehow misplaced the instructions. Going to try to construct one without the pattern. Pattern is no longer available. Any body have a pattern for pound puppy look alikes?

There was a VHS filled with cartoons at the video store that I'd always make my mom rent. I had a large gray Pound Puppy and a lot of small ones. I even had some Pound Purries, but the dogs were my favorites.

I was crushed that my brother got one for his birthday and I had not a one.

Pound Puppys are back! www.poundpuppys.com

I still have my 2 80's Pound Puppies. I also have the registration engraved tag for the large one. I called him Spike. I remember how he used to suggle so well under my arm at night time. What a little darling. Love them so much and the cute little kennel boxes they came in.

i still, after 30 years, sleep with my pound puppy... his eyes are almost totaly rubbed off and hes faded from grey to very very pale grey.. he still snuggles great under my arm!

I remember getting my first Pound Puppy for Christmas 1986. I was still into stuffed animals, but at the time I thought I was getting too old for toys...But, I just HAD to have a Pound Puppy. He was gray with dark brown spots. Then, for my birthday the following year, I got the smaller version that was white with dark brown spots. I now buy them whenever I can find them in the thrift stores, and have a little collection going (along with many other 80's plush toys). They don't make them like they used to!

I had Cooler with the Blue satin jacket too. I miss my 80's toys thank goodness they are all coming back

I loved Pound Puppies! So good they have returned :-) I also had a Pound Puppy rip-off that my father bought me (which also came in a cardboard kennel) called a "Love Mutt", does anyone else remember these ones?

I loved them! I loved the cartoon too! My pound puppy was tan with dark brown spots. I forget his name though.

I never had a pound puppy of my own, but when my best friend was moving out of the city her mom gave me one she was throwing away. I still have it, my kids occassionally play with it.

Man! I had the house with the food dish and everything. I had the mom dog with the two small babies. I played with them a lot, and watched the cartoon on Saturdays. Thanks for the memories

My sister had a big one and a few smaller ones. We also had a VHS tape.

i use to have one when i was little and i lost it. it was a little brown puppy that i use to play with. i even had the carrier to put it in. looking back now im beginning to wish i had saved everything i had as a kid. sure miss these 80's toys. :(

I wasn't a child of the 80's, but I did have one of those miniature plush Pound Puppies when I was a kid. I remember they used to have two baskets of them at Target in the gift card section and I would have to beg my dad to buy them for me. I had some of the playsets, too; the van and the wedding chapel, for sure. I remember I had a small brown one with floppy ears that I took with me wherever I went. I lost it a while ago, but now I'm hunting for a new one. :)

I had lots of these, they were a favorite. I remember a commercial where pound puppies with big ears would fly around the room. When I finally got one, I assumed it would fly as well. I also got several from Hardee's where you could buy them for a time. You could also get the Pound Purries there.

I had several. The joy of walking into a Grace Bros store on Sat morning and seeing them look at you. Picking one and you loved it so much. They had certificates and everything. Simpler is sometimes better.

the pound puppy videos were GREAT! (you know to a 7 year old)

I watched the cartoon a lot and had the plushes and the carrier. I also had a pound purrie. I'm so glad that they brought back the pound puppies. Pound Puppies is now back on. You can watch it on Boomerang, if you have the channel. I have a pound puppy and a few of the old pound puppy books.

Does anyone know where to get the pound puppies playsets?My daughter wants one for her birthday.I loved them when i was little, she would have to see an old playset at a friends house I"m going crazy looking for this.I would love any help finding this .Thanks,Meliharm@aol.com

I still have my brown pound puppy, my dad bought it for me when I was about 6, I called him sooty and i still sleep with it occasionally. Sad but true.

I must say that this dog had to be the best thing ever to come along.. i recently was watchin cartoons with my son on Boomarang and POUND PUPPIES came on... That was sooo crazy!!!

I had several pound puppies and a pound puppy carrier (in which I think I tried to stuff one of my kittens into - didn't work!) Lots of fun - and again, I have no idea where they disappeared to :0(

SOOO adorable! the box looked like a little cage i remember..! So so sad.i used to BEG my parents to take me to the pound to go rescue as many dogs as possible because of this toy..

aww these were so cute!

has any1 seen a water filled pound puppy from the 80's?it was almost like a hot water bottle or something.do any1 have one or know where i can buy one from?heres my number-1440-665-2467.danny.thanks

i got a pound puppy mummy for xmas i remember the velcro tummy that the pups went in, one pup had closed eyes the other two were open ahhh i loved this toy had it years

looking for the heartshaped red food dish for pound puppies, daughter had one in the 80s , she wants one for her son

I had a couple of them. One white with brown spots. And I think a brown one. I know I still have the with one in the attic. He's more gray than white now.

I had quite a few of these. I even had the pet carrier.

I'm 31 and I can't live without my pound puppy. I still sleep with mine after 21 years... She's like a real dog to me! Thank goodness my husband understands! I even took her along on our honeymoon.

I love pound puppies ! I have 1 and it is adorible and soft I play with mine all the time! I hope to get more and my friends have some too.

i am in love with pound puppys! as soon as my mother gave me one for my birthday i fell in love with it! it is wight with brown spots and a red coller i named him cookie dough! he really made me change the day i opend that box! my i was aspeachless! i was so happy that my little sister was like " vi your not talking are you dead?" i had the best11th b day in the world seeing that pound puppy!

I was a child who never was allowed to have pets. So needless to say, the Pound Puppies and Pound Puppy New Borns I had (which I still have on a shelf) meant a great deal to me.

OMG Karn I'm not the only one!! I got my Pound Puppy when I was 5 and I am now 27. He's called Freckles aka Poundie and has slept in my bed every night since! It's the way they fit into your body nicely, great when you've got period pain :) My partner gets a bit annoyed with Poundie and shoves him on my head sometimes but he's still in the bed after 22 of life! And going strong with his red dungarees and collar (almost completely perished and buttons have fallen off). He has been a real constant in my life LOL.

My 2nd grade class shared one as a "pet" -- it was resembled Cooler from the cartoon, but our teacher named him Rocky. Each student got to take him home for the weekend & he came with a lunchbox that had crayons & paper in it. We had to keep a "journal" of our time with him, including illustrations & even photos if we wanted. Then we had to share it with the class on Monday. By the end of the year we had a massive scrapbook/box of memories with Rocky :)

Okay so I'm 24 years old and I still have my pound puppy Cooler from when I was a little girl!! I loved (and still do!!!) animals and was dying for a pound puppy, and my wonderful Maw Maw bought my best friend Cooler for me, and he literally went everywhere with me!! Cooler and I used to have matching pajamas when I was a kid and he still has one that he wears everyday! My boyfried thinks it's a little strange that I still keep him on the bed, but it's a sentimental thing! When I have kids I want to give my little girl my Cooler because he meant sooo much to me as a girl!! I miss the show too :)

I remember getting my Pound Puppy and sending in the adoption certificate and getting a doggie tag in the mail with the name I had given him on it....Brandon, after the dog on Punky Brewster...(OMG, what a child of the 80's I am!!) Still have him in my big old toy box at my parent's!!

Another classic! Everyone loved their Pound Puppy or Pound Purrie!

Im from Singapore and will like very much to get a Pound Puppy mummy with pups in velcro tummy for kids as I love them since young, anyone knows how I can get it?Pls email jalohon82@yahoo.com.sg

my twin had some. I dont think she still does but she might

i had a big grey one and a big brown one and 2 tiny ones. now my daughter plays with them.

I never had a pound puppy as a child, but loved the cartoon and would take my cousins and play with it. I did however have a pound puppy phone that talked. I have been looking for another one, since my sister put mine in the bath tub shortly after I received it. Does any one remember the phone?

our boy had a Pound Puppy when he was little, given to him by his nana. When he got older, even into his early teens he still liked to have his white w/ brown spotted pup whom he had named Bo-diddly on his bed. Now that he's grown, I've become the official caretaker of "Bo", the well loved, somewhat mended pound puppy. Can't wait to have grandkids to share him with!!! I've even amde him some cool outfits.

Does anyone have the cartoons on tape? My daughter just got a new PP at Target and it came with a DVD of a 30 min. cartoon and she loves it. I would love to get her some more of the cartoons i loved them myself.

instead of money I got one of these for my first tooth from the tooth fairy. I had a large gray one I got for my b-day and a bunch of smaller cats and dogs.

my aunt gave me her pound puppies and i love them they are fun to play with

I loved the Pound Puppies. Had one of my own and the cartoons were great too.

I had one Pound Puppy. He was a small one and he wore a little jacket.

I had a couple of pound puppies, and one of the kitties, purr kitties? I loved the cartoon as well. I believe they still play the show on Boomerang. Watching it is like a blast from the past.

I had a small poseable one first. It was my FAVORITE toy. I loved it SOOOO much. One day when my mom picked me and my 2 younger siblings up from our babysitter's house after work she set our bag of stuff along with my pound puppy on top of the car while she got the 3 of us strapped in. In the insanity of having 3 small children and trying to get home to make dinner in rush hour traffic, she drove off with the bag and the Pound Puppy on top of the car! She realized it just a few minutes later and turned around to get them...The stuff in the bag was ok - guess the bag was big enough people avoided it in the road. But traffic was no match for my poor pound puppy! :o( I cried ALL NIGHT LONG! Guess once I finally got to bed, my mom talked to my dad on the phone (who worked 2nd shift) and told him what happened. I awoke the next morning to find a big stuffed Pound Puppy with 3 small stuffed babies sitting on the kitchen table! (Guess my mom had ask dad to stop somewhere on his way home from work that night & get them for me!) This is still one of my HAPPY FAMILY memories! and I still have my big pound puppy too!

i got my pound puppy back in the 80's, he was the large size, grey with dark brown spots, i named him spot. i would not go any where with out this stuffed animal, i slept with my arm wrapped around his neck for many years, eventually his neck had no stuffing in it. you could not pry him from my arms, loved him so much lol. he had many rip repairs, ive still got it up in my closet somewhere. would be great to find somewhere you could buy new originals

i had pound puppies plushes, the sheet set, and the pound puppies radio, which i think at the time you could only get a radioshack. i miss all my pound puppies stuff :(

I still have my Pound Puppy. She is all gey and I have her baby who is grey with black ears. They are kept in a plastic storage tote. Nobody is allowed to touch her or her puppy. The mom was cupcake and the baby was cupie.

POUND PUPPIES ARE CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot about my little vinyl pound puppy look alike with flocked fur. He was the first Pound Puppy thing I ever got. He was non poseable and sat on his hind legs. He looked like Cooler complete with a blue jacket you could remove. Actually it was more like a saddle but the package referred to it as a coat. Today I have five or six Pound Puppies. My favorite is one of the rarer Super Pound Puppies. Twice as big as the regular size Pound Puppies, he is dark brown with long floppy ears. I carry him with me in a backpack where ever I go. He keeps the depression and the anxiety attacks at bay. I call him simply Guard Dog, because that's what he is to me. Sometimes I think he works better for the depression than all the meds I take.

I always regretted selling my pound puppies in a garage sale!

I'm not a child of the 80s, nor did I have these in my life as a kid, but I did find one in a thrift store once. His name was Sam, and I latched onto him immediately. I loved how he looked just like the dog on the logo. I ended up buying 3 more vintage pups-a brown basset named Droops, a gray bulldog I call Rocco, and a sweet little gray-and-fudge puppy, "Baby Spots". I am currently looking for a more feminine dog-I'll probably name her Bess.

Please help me find my pound puppy! He's the original solid, long eared tan colored pup. The very first ones made! I made a wish one christmas for a pound puppy and told no one. That christmas I received the pound puppy from close friend of the family. It is a very special puppy to me. Cuddled up with him through the good and bad times. Unfortunately my pup and I where separated in a tragic event in my life. This pup is of sentimental value to me and I just want to know where can I find it. Or one that's exactly like it. Please help me! marleenfafita@hotmail.com

I am 15 years old and i just found my pound puppy that i got years ago. i don't know the name of him or her though it is cream colored with dark brown spots and ears and a red collar. i also had a pound purrie but i can't seem to find it anywhere

the new revival pound puppies just arent the same. i have a picture of myself and my brother holding our Pound puppies and we look like little scrubs on Christmas morning. i still have my adoption papers for them and the collars you guys when you mailed away your forms. Te dogs however never lasted. we took them everywhere, including out in the snow and rain. i still have the tiny little brown guy but im sad the quality of the ones now arent he same. RIP original pound puppies.

The ultimate. I need to find the cartoons too. I still have my doggies and kitties :)

I HAD ONE!!!!

I need to find out how to play the Pound Puppies board game I just bought it at a garage sale for my daughter, it came with no instructions tho can anybody help? armyfamily2415atgmailcom

I had a bunch of these, I even had the carrier for them and tons of clothes, they were so much fun, I still have a few of them around!

I had a pound puppy as a child. It was white with brown spots, and he went all over the country with me for awhile. I gave him to my daughter when she was old enough, and unfortunately in one of her many "give away" cleaning out times she gave him away. I recently found another on ebay and just had to get him. I really wish they would remake them again, but not like the newer ones...like the originals.

i have my pound puppy and some baby ones.

after 20+ yrs i still have my cooler pound puppy cassette player

i have had mine for 20 or 25 years and i cherish it

My "Droopy" (that's what I named him) was brown with dark brown, long ears. It was great. Memories of a different time, a younger time are things you just never forget. Mine has been in a bag in my closet for the past 32 years.

I gave my 3yr old one of my loved pup. Now she wants more, Duz any1 know where i can buy new one's from?

I loved my pound puppies! I wish my parents hadn't gotten rid of all my toys, I would still be playing with them if they hadn't!

Happy to update-3 more pound puppies were rescued from my local thrift store last week. They are a chocolate dog with long ears (Bess), a small Dalmatian puppy (Dottie), and a bulldog puppy (Rover). I'm glad that these dogs will have a home again, and I hope to send photos soon.

My kids had a game called "Pound Puppies Pooch on the Loose Game". Does anybody know where I can get one?

I remember my pound puppies, I wish I still knew where they were.

I loved Pound Puppies! I had the Pound Puppies movie and it came with a little Cooler figurine. I also had some plushes and storybook tapes, colouring books. When the tail broke off my Cooler figurine, Dad fixed it. :-) I still have Cooler, but now he smells like plasticine.

I was little when my mother got my pound puppy "fluff fluff" for me. My husband and I were going through toys of mine to give to the local arc and I found "fluff fluff". All of my children want him and the answer to them is no. I am 28 and since I found him, he sleeps on my bed with me lol.

omg i loved my cooler dog... i just saw one on just listed on ebay... its not the one i had but this one is a talking cooler,still sealed in the original box amazing, i didnt even know they did a talking cooler! be sure to check it out i bought breath blasters from these guys, they sent overseas and all was a1 ok... and they have this... im tempted http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110487700198&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

If I remember correctly, didn't Hardee's offer minature Pound Puppies and Pound Purries with Kids Meals? I remember my mom coming back from Hardees and she told me I couldn't have the white Pound Purrie she brought back because I was naughty...needless to say she did give it to me because it's now in a box with my pound puppie memorbilia.

i bought the minature pound puppies made by galoob from 80stoyshop.com they also had one of those talking coolers in the box wow i would love that.

I remember begging my parents for a Pound Puppy and showing my Dad the dogs in the Savon's near our house at Christmas time. I said I wanted the light colored one with spots, not the ugly brown one!! Well, on Christmas Eve I opened my present to find they had gotten me to the solid brown one. I had a brief moment of disapointment and remember thinking the thought "well at least they got me one!" (It was a miracle they actually listened to what I wanted). So, I was resolved to love him anyways. I still sleep with him to this day. He makes a great pillow too. LOL. Poor thing, his eyes are all rubbed off and I have to repair holes in his seams often but he is hanging in there!

I received my pound puppy for my 3rd birthday way back in 1986. He's light brown with dark brown spots; I named him Buck. I have the original collar and he's in good condition except for scratches on his eyes and nose. He's been everywhere with me, I'd never part with him.

I have a pound puppy purrie with a pink collar and a pink heart with white PP. Is it a real pound puppy or a knock off? Or is a rare, extremely valuable one of a kind? :o)

I have the pound puppy pattern if anybody would like it. I don't have any instructions but what i have on the pattern might help put it together. If you would like email me evettechoney@hotmail.com

Hi, my name is Chris and I'm 33 here in Ohio. My father worked at ford with Mike Bowling and was one of his friends. When mike came up with the idea he and his wife made the first 500 by hand and they were much higher quality with much more detail than the ones sold in stores. Mike bowling gave my dad two of them so that is how I have the one I do. On the bottom of dog mike signed collector edition 1985- 116/500 and he signed it. It came with real nice wooden box and papers showing what it is. I'm thinking of selling it so if anybody can help me out or point me in the right direction that would be great. My email is cfelt77@yahoo.com

I remember my mom buying two pound puppies for christmas, one was the light grey with dark brown patches which I named "Spot" and a chocolate brown one I named "Artie". Its been over 20 years and I still have "Spot" yet lost "Artie" =( I use to have them placed on dresser as "guards" - brings back amazing memories.

I made a dozen of these for Xmas presents in the 80s and I added Velcro'd felt teeth and called them "Schmutz Mutz" (for "nasty doggies")and enclosed a card that told the recipient that they were watch dogs.

Hi guys, I was womdering if any one had the original collar and the soft plastic heart(hung off the collar) that the original pound puppies came with for sale or would like to part with?
