Pound Puppies

At Shelter 17, a tight knit crew of dogs guards a big secret mission. Lucky, the fearless leader, teams with Cookie and the rest of the Pound Pack to turn the pound into a hopeful place for every newcomer. Rather than simply waiting for a home, they stage small covert operations and cheerful acts that help dogs in need find loving families. The show follows their clever schemes as they juggle the daily rhythm of kennel life with the promise they carry for each animal who arrives. The tone combines warm humor with tender moments, proving that friendship and a little ingenuity can brighten a tough place. Together they prove that hope can travel farther than a leash.

Premiering in 2010, the animated series was created by Nancy Steingard, Wendy Moss Klein and Paul Germain. The voice cast includes Eric McCormack as Lucky, René Auberjonois as McLeish, Yvette Nicole Brown as Cookie, John DiMaggio as Niblet and Strudel.

The show has a light family friendly reception, it is described as a cheerful take on shelter life with messages about adoption, loyalty, and teamwork. It emphasizes kindness toward animals and the idea that communities can help dogs find their forever homes.
