Pound Puppies (known as All New Pound Puppies in its second season) is an American animated series made by Hanna-Barbera Productions and based on the toy line by Tonka as the sequel to the 1985 television special. Broadcast on ABC from September 13, 1986 until December 19, 1987, it was the first cartoon adaptation based on the franchise, the second being the 2010 series. 26 episodes (36 segments in total) were produced.
A spirited young girl, named Holly has made it her mission to help protect her canine friends, Cooler, Nose Marie, Bright Eyes, Howler, Whopper and other pound puppies from her Aunt Katrina Stoneheart who hates dogs with a villainous passion.
Katrina, her daughter, Brattina and pet feline, Catgut devise elaborate schemes to sabotage the pound and even destroy the puppies outright, sometimes enlisting the help of the monstrous Captain Slaughter (in Season One), but Holly and her anthropomorphized canine friends always manage to come out on top.
