'''[[.xyz|.XYZ]]''' is an active [[gTLD]] that was proposed in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. The [[Registry Operator]] is [[XYZ.COM LLC]], and the company was the sole applicant for the string.
'''[[.dog|.dog]]'''is a proposed [[TLD]] in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. [[Donuts]] (Koko Mill, LLC) manages the TLD and is its [[Registry]]. The proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the [[Root Zone]] on 29 April, 2015.
Petfinder Foundation, an organization that helps a number of pet shelters find homes for their sheltered pets, is using the [[.dog]] extension in an August 2015 campaign at [http://www.myrescue.dog myrescue.dog]. The site allows owners to post photos of their rescue dogs to the site (using the hashtag #myrescuedog and #notcom). Each posted photograph generates a $10 donation to the Petfinder Foundation. The most popular dog's shelter will receive $25,000, and the next 15 shelters will receive $5,000. <ref>https://www.thedomains.com/2015/08/24/a-new-platform-benefiting-homeless-dogs-myrescue-dog-launched-by-petfinder-donuts/ Retrieved 24 August 2015</ref>
