Pound Puppies were a fad toy of the 1980s that were a spin-off concept from the popular Cabbage Patch Dolls. The puppies were a variety of plush stuffed dog dolls with floppy ears and droopy eyes. They came in a variety of colors, some with spots. Each one came in a carrying case with adoption papers. A cartoon television show was created based on the fad and a new orange colored puppy with a Hawaiian shirt on was created to make the line more "hip." Smaller versions were also created (approximately 5 inches long,) and a line of cats called "Pound Purries" was also released. Each authentic puppy had a heart shaped emblem on it's behind that sported a "PP" logo.
