"I work with a non-profit organization (dog rescue). I know nothing about databases. What we need is something to keep track of these details...What do you suggest?
  1. Dog's name, sex, color, type
  2. Date dog obtained, and where he came from
  3. Date dog adopted
  4. Name of person adopting, plus address, telephone number and e-mail address
  5. Small medical history
  6. Shots,worming, neutering dates
  7. Microchip number
  8. ID tag number
  9. Dog's picture

An Access database could hold all this data and be fairly simple to set up and use. Since you are not familiar with Microsoft Access, I would suggest you find someone to build the database for you, with your input, and then show you how to use it.
