***Poochini*** (also known as ***Poochini's Yard***) is an [animated](/source/Animated_series) television series which was originally aired worldwide on February 2, 2000, but it did not air in the United States until September 7, 2002.[1] The series follows the life of a grey black-eared [hound](/source/Hound) mix named Poochini who runs away from home after his rich owner dies, gets captured by the [dog pound](/source/Dog_pound) and is adopted by an average American family.[2]

Despite being created and co-produced by the [San Francisco](/source/San_Francisco)-based entertainment company [Wild Brain](/source/Wildbrain_Entertainment), *Poochini* was not shown in the United States for over two years after its production. Co-produced and internationally distributed by [Munich](/source/Munich)-based media group [EM.TV](/source/Constantin_Medien)[3] and distributed by The Television Syndication Company for US syndication, *Poochini* is based on the award-winning pilot [short](/source/Short_subject) *A Dog Cartoon* (1999).

Poochini only made 26 episodes with the final one airing in the United States on March 1, 2003.

It was directed by Dave Marshall and Dave Thomas.[4] The series was one of the final projects of famed background artist [Maurice Noble](/source/Maurice_Noble) (who mostly worked with *[Looney Tunes](/source/Looney_Tunes)* and *[Tom and Jerry](/source/Tom_and_Jerry)* animator [Chuck Jones](/source/Chuck_Jones)), who is credited as a design and color consultant, before his death in 2001.
