12 Dogs of Christmas: Great Puppy Rescue

Pound Puppies is an animated television series developed by Wendy Klein Moss, Nancy Steingard, Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere for the Hub Network. It debuted on October 10, 2010 in the United States as the first Hub "original series". It also aired on YTV in Canada and on Boomerang in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavia and Australia. Produced by Hasbro Studios, it was the second series (after the 1986 series) to adapt Pound Puppies into a cartoon format. Originally a property by Tonka, Hasbro acquired Tonka itself and currently manages Pound Puppies. The plot style and music were similar to the 1960s TV series Hogan's Heroes and to films like Stalag 17 and The Great Escape. The first seven episodes of the series were animated by 9 Story Entertainment, but DHX Media Vancouver took over to animate the series from episode 8 onwards. The show is known for being one of four original series from The Hub to win the CINE Golden Eagle Award for high quality production and storytelling in July 2012; one month later, the Season 1 episode "I Never Barked for My Father" was honored with the Humanitas Prize for excellence in writing for children's television animation. 65 episodes were produced. The show currently airs reruns on Discovery Family.
