22	----
23	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Manifests this traits before his re-training.
24	* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite hating Happy and even having a fantasy where he is turned into a regular dog, he can't bring himself to do it himself when Happy is at his mercy.
25	* FatalFlaw: Ambition. Garbage is driven to find a new planet for the humans so he can be his owner Chelsea's hero. This often leads him to make reckless and foolhardy choices, and put his wants ahead of the crew.
26	* FearlessFool: Garbage very rarely shows fear, and when he does the situation is extremely dire.
27	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In "Barking Up the Wrong Tree", he gives himself up to the Shrubdubs, hoping it will get them to leave Earth alone. Sadly, they continue their assault.]]
28	* IronicName: It doesn't seem like he minds his name. However, as he states in "Spin", without his Captain title, he's "just Garbage".
29	* TheLeader: Has the highest authority within the ''Pluto'''s crew.
30	* LoveableRogue: Garbage is not above going against direct orders from his superiors ([[spoiler:even going as far as to betray his entire mission, albeit briefly]]) if he feels it is for the greater good. While some of his crew have strong opinions of his leadership skills, [[UndyingLoyalty they are no less loyal to him]].
31	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:He has this reaction after Stardust acts on his claim that he'd do "anything" to be captain again by [[EmotionControl manipulating his friends' emotions]], causing Stella to resign.]]
32	* {{Nepotism}}: Season 2 reveals that Garbage was given his position by the ''Pluto'''s former captain, Stardust, as he stepped down.
33	* PuppyDogEyes: He uses these on Kira in a attempt to get her to help him. It doesn't work.
34	* TheRival: To Captain Happy.
35	* StuffBlowingUp: Garbage has a remarkable talent when it comes to making things explode, even when he doesn't aim at that.
36	-->'''Garbage''': Flour is surprisingly flammable!
37	* UndyingLoyalty: He hardly has an opinion against his owner Chelsea, [[spoiler: though Kira was able to convince him briefly that she stopped cared about him.]]
38	* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:"Freeze Out" reveals that he and Happy were once best friends, until a misunderstanding and Happy's promotion to captain undermined all that. By the end of the episode, the two manage to reconcile slightly.]]
39	* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Why would Chelsea, or anyone for that matter, call her dog "Garbage"?

50
51	Stella is a skilled combatant and tactician. She is typically the voice of reason on the ''Pluto''.

54	* BadassCape: She's the only one in the ''Pluto'''s crew who sports a cape, and is an excellent fighter. She ditches the cape after [[spoiler:being promoted to Captain]].
55	* CapeSnag : Happens to her at least once, but she keeps her cape.
56	* ChoiceOfTwoWeapons: She can use a blaster, but usually goes with melee weapons.
57	* HardLight: Her signature weapons, a spear and shield, seem to be made of this.
58	* TheLancer: Garbage's second-in-command, and a sane, reliable counterpart to his cocky antics. Also, she uses a spear – in other words, a lance.
59	* OnlySaneWoman: Next to Loaf, she is often the sole dog of reason on the ''Pluto''.
60	* RankUp: [[spoiler:She is made the ''Pluto'''s new captain at the end of season one.]]
61	* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:In "Barking Up the Wrong Tree", she has the opportunity take down the Shrubdubs' ship using a sample of Earth's poisonous upper atmosphere. But she ultimately can't bring herself to kill the Shrubdubs, even in defense of Earth.]]

72
73	The ''Pluto'''s Med/Tech Officer, his personal tool of choice is a forcefield generator.
74	----
75	* AmbiguouslyGay: Just watch the way he fawns over Garbage in "Watch Me". There's also his bungled, Freudian slip of a greeting when they're reunited in "Leave It".
76	--> It's good to love you, Captain. I mean, I love to miss you, Captain. I mean, hello, Captain.
77	* BarrierWarrior: His main tool of choice is a forcefield.
78	* EveryoneHasStandards: While he's obsessed with his friendship with Garbage, even he called out [[spoiler:Stardust for sabotaging a mission to make Garbage look good and get him captain again.]]
79	* FingerlessHands: Although Chonies canonically has fingers, he lacks them visually.
80	* NudeColoredClothes: Despite appearing more naked than other dogs, [[spoiler:he actually has a pilot suit on that just happens to match his fur color.]]
81	* PuppyDogEyes: His default expression.
82	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Lampshaded in the altered opening credits of "Settle Down", wherein his puppy self is described as a "Cutie Patootie".
83	* TheSmartGuy: He's the team's tech/med officer.
84	* SmartPeoplePlayChess: He is among the most intelligent on the ''Pluto'' when it comes to technology. He apparently plays chess, but seems to lack playmates.

93	-->''"Being smart's for idiots!"''
94
95	Nomi is the brash and childish pilot of the ''Pluto'' with a taste for destruction.
96	----
97	* AcePilot: Can dodge obstacles and enemies with contemptuous ease while behind the stick.
98	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She’s definitely the youngest of the group at 14 dog years.
99	* BloodKnight: Seems to be enjoying dangerous situations and fighting a little too much.
100	* BoisterousBruiser: Well, shooter to be specific.
101	* BoldExplorer: Although every member of the ''Pluto'''s crew have been on many explorations, Nomi doesn't have any intentions to stop.
102	* CoolBigSis: Considers Kira to be this and looks up to her immensely.
103	* GenkiGirl: She is almost never ''not'' excited.
104	* GunsAkimbo: Dual wields a pair of guns.
105	* ImagineSpot: Nomi sees Kira in a rather flattering light when the latter frees Garbage.
106	* LeeroyJenkins: Most of the time she'll charge into a situation all guns blazing.
107	* TriggerHappy: The most eager to get into a fight and start blasting.

115	->'''Breed:''' Jack Russell Terrier
116	-->''"Well I can't hide it in my room, it's illegal!"''
117
118	Ed is the Ambassador of the ''Pluto''. He also has a tendency to rob anyone, even his own friends.
119	----
120	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his greed and manipulation, Ed genuinely cares for his fellow crewmates.
121	* KarmaHoudini: No matter what Ed steals, he faces minimal or no consequences.
122	* LovableRogue: Far more downplayed than Garbage. Unapologetically shady, but no less resourceful.
123	* StickyFingers: Willing to take nearly anything without a shred of (visible) guilt afterwards. In "Speak", he blatantly admits that he always surveys a planet visited in case he wants to pull a heist later.

133
134	Kira is a somewhat feral friend to Team ''Pluto'' (mostly Garbage) with strong opinions on humans.
135	----
136	* ArmCannon: Kira's weapon of choice due to her unopposable thumbs([[spoiler: until after season 1 episode 5, Settle Down]]).
137	* ActionGirl: considering she survived on a dangerous planet for over 10 dog years, was able to disable the entire ''Pluto'''s crew, and [[spoiler: reduce almost every dog on the ''M-Bark'' Into regular dogs.]]
138	* AngryAnimalisticGrowl: Although she Is not the only one to do this, she does It the most. ({{Justified}} as she Is a genetically enhanced dog.)
139	* BerserkButton: Chonies presses this twice when discussing her purple fur, implying that she wasn't always that way.
140	* BattleCry: In [[Recap/DogsInSpaceS1E2HereGirl Here, Girl!]] Kira lets out a feral yell before attacking a wild alien.
141	* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:After being absent for the majority of season two, she returns in a big way in "Barking Up the Wrong Tree".]]
142	* BigBadSlippage: [[spoiler:While she was a misanthrope since her introduction, Kira genuinely grew into a valuable and welcomed ally to the ''Pluto'' crew. However, her "dogs over humans" mentality, combined with her manipulation of Garbage's uncertainties about Chelsea, becomes far more pronounced after Garbage nearly sacrifices the lives of his crew to try and save a life seed in "Speak"]].
143	* FormerBigot: Kira, for much of the show, despised humans and believed anyone who said otherwise is [[spoiler: "too human."]] By the end of season 1 she learns her lesson.
144	* FreudianExcuse: Being trapped on a dangerous planet for 10 dog years thinking she was betrayed by humans Is both the reason for and the excuse for her questionable acts.
145	* HumansAreBastards: Her time away from humans has soured her opinion of them, believing her own human has completely given up on her.
146	* IChooseToStay: Kira decides she wishes to stay on the Ghost Planet. [[spoiler:Until her broken arm forces her to leave.]]
147	* KickTheDog: {{Downplayed}} Kira decides to shoot the ''Pluto'''s crew thinking they are simply figments of her Imagination.
148	* KeepingTheHandicap: Kira decides she doesn't want to gain opposable thumbs. ([[spoiler: Until [[Recap/DogsInSpaceS1E5SettleDown Settle Down.]]]])
149	* LethalChef: {{Downplayed}}, although it is unknown how good of a cook Kira Is, the food she did make was considered disgusting. Then again, she spent a few of her dog years on her own before the ''Pluto'' found her by accident.
150	* PurpleIsPowerful: Her time stranded on a far-off planet has not only turned her fur purple somehow, but also hardened her survival skills. She is able to go toe-to-toe with Stella and [[spoiler: Councilor Duchess]].
151	* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about her after what occurs in the latter half of Season 1.
152	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Despite adjusting back at the ''M-Bark'', she slowly believes that it's not worth it for dogkind to help humans in finding a new planet. [[spoiler: She temporarily rallies Garbage to help her find a world exclusively for dogs and soon [[FaceHeelTurn turns heel]] to do it herself.]]

160	->'''Breed:''' Bulldog
161	-->''"Congratulations on... not... dying!"''
162
163	Loaf is the navigator of the ''Pluto''. He possesses an unhealthy amount of stress for his teams' antics despite mostly residing and working aboard the ''M-Bark''.
164	----
165	* CowardlyLion: In "Let There Be Loaf", he finds the courage to fend off a band of space pirates who seek to take the ''M-Bark'' for themselves.
166	* MissionControl: One of the [=SOs=] on the ''M-Bark'', he is tasked with assisting Garbage's team.
167	* NervousWreck: There is hardly a moment where he's ''not'' panicking. Then again, he has to constantly put up with the ''Pluto'' team, specifically Garbage, since he shares responsibility for their safety.
168	* WhatIsThisFeeling: He is not accustomed to ''not'' being stressed.

176	->'''Breed:''' Black Labrador Retriever
177	-->''I don't need to trust you. With my technology, there's no behavior I can't predict.''
178
179	Following Stella's promotion to captain of the ''Pluto'', Pepper was brought in as the new tactical officer following a requested transfer from the ''Neptune''. She is quite diligent but she is overly cautious on the probability of every event around her.
180	----
181	* EarlyBirdCameo: Pepper actually makes a brief appearance in the season one finale, albeit as a normal dog.
182	* HardLight: Like Stella before her, she uses a weapon and a shield that seem to be comprised of this, only her weapon of choice is a sword.
183	* NotSoStoic: Expresses little emotion, focusing solely on the mission. If she ever loses composure or panics, then [[OOCIsSEriousBusiness something is off]], especially if she can't anticipate it. She tends to smile now and then.
184	* StatuesqueStunner: By far the tallest of the entire ''Pluto'' crew, or nearly any other dog aboard the ''M-Bark''.
185	* TheStrategist: Much of her purpose as the new Tactical Officer is to gather data needed to calculate the chances of success with minimal risk.

193	->'''Breed:''' Scottish Terrier
194
195	The original captain of the ''Pluto''.
196	----
197	* AstralProjection: Despite being galaxies away, he can use his mental abilities to manifest himself as a hologram-like form.
198	* EmotionControl: He left the ''Pluto'' to study under some "star monks", learning how to move the stars to manipulate the emotions of other.
199	* GodComplex: Was noted by both the Dog Council and his star mentors to suffer a massive god complex, which factored into them kicking him out of their groups.
200	* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:His outrage over Garbage losing his captain decision seems based more on being angry that his decision to make Garbage his successor was countermanded.]]
201	* {{Jerkass}}: While friendly with Garbage, he was less so with others, [[spoiler:to the point of manipulating the rest of the ''Pluto'' crew's emotion in a scheme to give Garbage back his captain position]].
202	* MentorArchetype: He served as this for Garbage, believing that he had it what it took to be captain, and encouraging his ambition.
