  • Marty and Sid - Two talking trees that were a gift from Stuff's uncle, H.R. Pufnstuf, that live on the playground.
  • Noodles - A mouse who lives in the wall next to the puppy tunnel.
  • Junior Shades - A small dog who wears sunglasses. He appears in the episode "Dogs on a Plane" as co-captin with Zippy. He appears again in "Sherdog Bones" as a student at Mutt and Stuff.

  • H.R. Pufnstuf - Stuff's uncle who's from Living Island in the Krofft Series H.R. Pufnstuf
