Pound Puppies are Back!

 As a kid one of my all-time favourite toys were my collection of Pound Puppies.

I’ve always loved (and owned) dogs and I loved the concept of ‘adopting’ and caring for my very own little pup!

Soft, huggable and undeniably cute they were massive in the 80’s and early 90’s, and while I grew up they disappeared from sight.

Until now that is.

 

 

My favourite, loveable, huggable dog brand is back with a bang with a gorgeous collection of plush toys which are exact replicas of the iconic 80’s originals.

Available in either a Classic plush (£19.99) or a Newborn (£7.99) you can begin your collection *sorry I mean your CHILDREN* can begin their very own collection and experience all over again!

 

 

I’ve always loved the concept of Pound Puppies in that the way in which they help teach children about adoption and rescuing animals.

Both the Classic and Newborn pups come with their very own adoption certificates for you to fill in and name tags for you to name your new furry best friend.

 

 

They come in their own carrier kennel (which bought back SO many vintage memories for me!) which you can choose to keep as a cosy home for them and this August Pound Puppies have created an inspired partnership with The Dogs Trust.

You might notice that the ‘Dogs Trust logo’ features on the front of the carrier for your pup and this is for an amazing reason.

 

 

From August 1st, for every Dogs Trust Pound Puppy sold, Basic Fun will make a donation to the Dogs Trust.

The Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity which sees around 14,300 dogs happily rehomed each year so collaborating with such an iconic brand is simply inspired.

 

 

 

For every Classic toy sold Basic Fun will donate 27p and for every Newborn they’ll donate 11p.

My children just love these toys. From their cute, loveable ‘please love me’ longing eyes, to their super soft, cuddly bodies, they are both well and truly hooked.

 

 

 

They loving playing mummy and baby pup with the newborns which are far smaller in size to the classic and I love seeing the caring way in which their interact together, mimicking the way we look after our own dog, Rosie.

 

 

They play feeding, cuddles and training and they are the perfect toy to help explain the process of rehoming dogs and how important it is to look after your own dogs properly with love, affection and care. 

 

 

You can relive your childhood and bring the joy of Pound Puppies into your own children’s lives now  from Smyths Toys, Amazon or in store at Tesco where you can collect 4 different Classic pups and 8 different puppies.
