- Dog's name, sex, color, type
- Date dog obtained, and where he came from
- Date dog adopted
- Name of person adopting, plus address, telephone number and e-mail address
- Small medical history
- Shots,worming, neutering dates
- Microchip number
- ID tag number
- 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.
