==Usages & Practices==
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.
