Florida State Poochitentiary



Florida State Poochitentiary is a dog pound located in Florida, either in or near the city of Miami.

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Life's Ruff", Mario, Luigi, and King Windbag, who have been turned into dogs by Hip and Hop Koopa after they steal Windbag's magic wand, chase the Koopalings through a warp pipe to Miami to recover the wand. The three tail them to a hotel, where they run amok and cause a food fight. While Mario, Luigi, and Windbag try to stop them, Herman the dog catcher is called to capture them. Herman succeeds in capturing Mario, Luigi, and Windbag while Hip and Hop escape in a stolen sports car.

Herman brings Mario, Luigi, and King Windbag to the Poochitentiary, where he places them in a dingy kennel with several stray dogs. King Windbag hates the atmosphere, and treats the other dogs very rudely. However, Mario and Luigi are able to cooperate with the other dogs, and with King Windbag's help, the dogs are able to form a pyramid, which Mario and Luigi use to escape through a ventilation duct at the top of the room.

In their quest to free the other dogs, Mario and Luigi watch a news report in Herman's office about Hip and Hop heading to Kennedy Space Center to hijack the space shuttle. After watching the news report, Mario and Luigi accidentally wake up Herman and unintentionally hits the control panel, freeing all the dogs, including King Windbag. With help from the other dogs, Mario, Luigi, and King Windbag escape and drive off in Herman's truck to stop the troublesome twins from hijacking the shuttle.
