![]() ![]() ![]() Whether you prefer Afghans, Yorkshire Terriers, or mutts, you'll find a wealth of basic canine information on-line.

Adopt A Greyhound is a beautifully designed, interesting, and informative site created by Dan Schmidt. Even the graphics, from the paw prints in the sand to the greyhound-in-motion motif, capture the essence of the power and grace of these dogs. The FAQ is particularly useful for those unfamiliar with the breed, providing health and disposition information. You can read about retired racing dogs, many of which are in need of a greener pasture. Greyhound owners will undoubtedly need to download the directions for knitting a sweater for their sleek pets. By the time you have leafed through the scrapbook in the Canid Camera section and seen the love the animal owners have for this breed of canine, you may well be tempted to contact a local breed rescue group. A note to skeptics: These resources work. Recently, a woman looking for a home for a dog diagnosed with cancer was assisted by several on-line animal lovers. A perfect match was found: a loving family in her own region familiar with the breed and willing to nurse the dog. And that's just one of many computer-assisted doggy tales.
Purdue Dogs is a great resource for the current or would-be dog owner. Start by paging through a glossary that contains information on canine topics from Abdomen to Yorkshire Terrier, then check out reviews of canine trekking accessories and other useful products. The Save-A-Pet section is a wonderful resource for the canine yente in you: Kyler Laird and Erin Miller not only list and link breed rescue home pages (cat and rabbit, too), but also regional shelters that are wired. The designers have big plans for this site, including a search engine.

We hope you never have reason to look at this site, but if you need to find a lost or stolen pet, it's a good resource. Pet detective John Keane, along with his sidekick Clouseau (a cute Briard), runs Sherlock Bones, Tracer of Missing Pets, a page filled with helpful information, a bulletin board listings lost pets (mostly in California), and a few shaggy dog stories (most of them with happy endings). Keane offers some tips as well as his consulting services.
Dr. Jim Humphries, a well-known pet care expert and advisor, hosts Dr. Jim's Virtual Veterinary Clinic. He's written a particularly excellent discourse on flea control and included links to commercial and non-profit animal sites. Basic pet care information can also be found at Canine Web and The Cornell Canine Page.
You're a dog. You're playing fetch in the park. Will you run off to roam the hallowed halls of MIT or stroll along the Charles River? Photos of the area, including a rusty red fire hydrant, and even an ode to a Frisbee appear as the game Drool unfolds. A cute diversion though not terribly sophisticated.
