Pupstruction is an American animated television series created by Travis Braun that premiered on Disney Junior on June 14, 2023. It is produced by animation studio Titmouse, Inc.

The Pupstruction crew are a group of dogs who fulfill construction projects around the city of Petsburg, sometimes at the request of Mayor Gillmore. They would tend to different construction projects while contending with their rival construction company Lickety Split led by Bobby Boots. Characters

Main
 Phinny (voiced by Yonas Kibreab) is a Welsh Corgi who is the captain and architect of the Pupstruction crew. His vehicle is a crane. His catchphrase is "Let's crank it up." Tank (voiced by Carson Minniear) is a St. Bernard who supplies the materials for construction. His vehicle is a cement mixer. His catchphrase is "Ready to haul." Roxy (voiced by Scarlett Kate Ferguson) is a Rottweiler with walking wheels in place of her back legs who enjoys demolition. Her vehicle is a wrecking ball and front loader hybrid. Her catchphrase is "Let's crush this!" Luna (voiced by Mica Zeltzer) is an Old English Sheepdog who does the digging operations. Her vehicle is a backhoe. Her catchphrase is "I dig it!" Recurring
 Maya (voiced by Grey Griffin) is a dalmatian who is the mother of Phinny and Bailey and boss of the Pupstruction crew. She is bilingual as she speaks English and Spanish. Her vehicle is a helicopter. Bobby Boots (voiced by Bobby Moynihan) is a cat who is the leader and manager of the Lickety Split construction team. He desperately wants his team to be great and admired, but his rushing style of doing things, hence the name Lickety Split, is often a recipe for disaster. Scratch and Sniff (voiced by Kari Wahlgren and Eric Bauza respectively) are Bobby's workers and henchmen. They would at times come up with suggestions on how to do a better job, but Bobby would always ignore them. Unlike their leader, they would celebrate a successful build by Pupstruction. Harry (voiced by Eric Bauza) is a Welsh Corgi who's the father of Phinny and Bailey. He's a chef who loves cooking food for his family and the Pupstruction Crew. His vehicle is a food truck. He loves his son, but can be very overprotective at times, to the point of worrying too much. Bailey (voiced by Alessandra Perez) is a dalmatian who is Phinny's baby sister, whose age has not been determined, even though she celebrates her birthday in "Bailey's Birthday". She seems to enjoy construction just like her older brother and mother, but sometimes also enjoys demolition just like Roxy (granted that Roxy taught her how fun demolition is). Mayor Gilmore (voiced by Yvette Nicole Brown) is a fish who is the Mayor of Petsburg and resides in a fishbowl. Her favorite color is purple. Lloyd (voiced by Eric Bauza) is a gerbil who is Mayor Gilmore's assistant and helps to carry around Mayor Gilmore's fishbowl. He sometimes sends Pupstruction the locations of their builds. Grandma Dee (voiced by Olga Merediz) is a dalmatian who is Phinny and Bailey's maternal grandmother, and the founder of Pupstruction. Her vehicle is a weathered pink dump truck. Episodes

Release 
Pupstruction premiered on Disney Junior and Disney Channel on June 14, 2023. It was later released on the Disney+ streaming service. Reception 
Victoria Davis of Animation World Network said, "The show's overall tone is humorous and fun, but the messages Braun and his team hope to relay to kids are very serious, especially considering the show is speaking to a generation where kids have access to almost every toy and electronic mechanism under the sun that could keep them distracted for long periods of time. And yet, kids still want to play with the wrapping paper more than the toy wrapped inside. Pupstruction nurtures that "imaginative play" part of being a kid that could be lost in today's society if we're not careful." Ashley Moulton of Common Sense Media gave Pupstruction a grade of four out of five stars, complimented the depiction of educational value, stating that the show highlights teamwork and perseverance, and praised the presence of positive messages and role models, citing helpfulness, writing, "Pupstruction is a sweet, appealing preschool series that's appropriate for the youngest viewers."
