I had pound puppies that were on a leash and you could "walk" them because their feet were like pedals! And the babies leashes could be attached to the tails, so one hooked on to moms and then the next puppy could hook onto the previous puppies tail!

I had several pound puppies and a few pound purries, jungle, bunny and ponies. Never even knew about pound ocean! A quick ebay search showed me there were also pegasus and unicorn forms and pound piggies.

I should dig these guys out and maybe try to make a collection out of them!

Sounds like you already have a collection MissAli!

I have a few pictures of ones I have up for sale, not sure if they help at all and I'm afraid they're a bit dark but here goes...

Hello! I'm Jazz this is my first post but I wanted to share these playsets with everyone. They were a favorite of mine growing up. I don't know how many they made but I do own 13 of them and know at least 3-5 more exist. If you know the actual names I'd be glad to add them to my information, the ones I do know are in Italics. All photos are clickable thumbnails If you have pictures of playsets I don't have I'm sure interested in seeing them. I just added a few photos from ebay for id purposes and I don't claim to own them.


First off is the Super Pound Playground Van, the first playset they made:


Came with these 7 figures:


Next they made a series of large sets called Pet Carrier Playsets these had the same design on the outside one side a picture of a pound puppy the other a pound kitty. I have these two playsets the Teal one is called: Pet Paws Stadium, and the pink one is called Pet Paradise. Each Playset came with 5 figures




Then the playsets started having themed side images
They also made a yellow Circus playset called Circus O' Fun Images from Lancer


Space & Happy Honeymoon Hideaway playsets



Space came with:

Carnival- Amusement Park Fun:



Came with:

Pretty Paws Pet Show




Small sets: These were called Hideaway Playsets Each set came with 3 figures
If you lived in the UK, some of the hideaways had different handles where in the us they were molded in the uk they were a thin handle. Not sure on this info but Lancer's sets are a bit different than mine with handles so this is one possible explanation
Kibble Corner Hideaway, Jungle, Camp Hide-and-Seek



UK version:
The Jungle came with these 3:

Happy Home Hideout, School, & Hollywood



UK version:

The school came with these 3:

Jungle Park Playset (photos from Lancer) Figures shown came with set:



Mall Playset with Ice Cream Shop, Fashion Runway? Info from Ebay:



Beach Hideaway Set: figures shown most likely came with this set (photos from Lancer)





Then they also made this other large playset:


This set came with 6 figures:


Also there was 4 additional figure packs each with a theme: four to collect - the
"Cuddle Pack":


"Adorable Pack",


"Mischief Pack"


and "Cute Pack".



Thanks you Lancer for more info.

Could the yellow kitty be from one of these sets?

It doesn't resemble any of the figurines I have that go with the playsets.
These are the 3 types:
flat, plump, 3D

I'm newish to forum but I've been using the site to ID for about 2 years :p Thanks to MLP Arena. Anyways I didn't see this thread before but I created this thread for the pound puppy playsets with photos. http://ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Forum/index.php?topic=1351.0

Your probably right. The eyes don't look the same either.

I love these! I definitely had some as a child. The large van playground I had (and I hope I still do!) I had several of the smaller ones (the carriers and hideaways) and the large one at the bottom. I know I still have the large one!

We had amazing toys as kids.

I also have another theory that the small playsets you can tell which were first and second series by the handles. First series had molded and the second had the thin move-able handles.

*bump, Added more information!

From what her resume says, Erica Carlson designed those mini Pound Puppies.

I had no idea that Galoob produced so many Pound Puppy playsets! Thanks for all the information and images jazzmatazz, it's completely invaluable in helping me put together a page for them! 

Now on to organising all the Hornby/Tonka, Galoob and Mattel Pound Puppies I've collected...

[jazzmatazz]

you're welcome. I really wanted to find out more about my collection so I started asking around and stalking ebay listings. I do hope to complete all the playsets at some point but the small hideaways don't come up often on ebay.
