The film takes place in a city dog pound as the animals (who are mainly dogs, but there's also a Siamese cat and a misplaced penguin there, too!) await their fate of being put down, but there is a catch, the creatures are portrayed by human actors for instance a bald guy in a poncho plays a Mexican Hairless, the Siamese cat is an Asian, the penguin or "fowl" as the others call him, wears a tuxedo, the Boxer is a boxer, and so forth. As they await their impending deaths, they reminisce about life, attempt to escape/get adopted, or act out their wildest fantasies. Meanwhile, there is also a subplot involving serial killer.
