Please also go through the subcategories and select the most appropriate category to submit your site to, and submit your site ONCE. Sites with only one page with little or no information and/or under construction sites or multiple subpages from the same site will NOT be listed.

Non-English language sites should be submitted to the corresponding subcat in World.

If you are selling a cat-related product, do not submit your site to Recreation/Pets/Cats. It will not be listed here. Submit instead to Shopping/Pets/Cats_and_Dogs/Cats .

Breed-specific discussion sites should be submitted at the breed level. (for example - Border Collie discussion sites should be submitted to Recreation/Pets/Dogs/Breeds/Herding_Group/Border_Collie/Chats_and_Forums/ ) If there is not an existing Chats and Forums category, then submit to the specific breed.

Species specific sites should be submitted at the species level. (for example, general dog discussion groups should be submitted to Recreation/Pets/Dogs/Chats_and_Forums/ )

If your site is about your breeding operation, your purebred pet, a purebred breed-specific rescue service or a single-breed club, please find your breed in Recreation/Pets/Dogs/Breeds.

Submit your site to the Breeders, Pets, Rescue or Pets subcategory of that breed''s category. [some more unusual breeds do not yet have such subcategories; submit your site to that breed''s main category].

If you are selling a product, do not submit your site to Recreation/Pets/Dogs. It will not be listed here. All such sites are listed in Shopping/Pets/Dogs.

If you have a boarding kennel, grooming, training or pet sitting service, please submit your site to the proper locality in Regional. Your site will not be listed in Recreation/Pets/Dogs.

Thank you.

If your site focuses on online sales, please submit it to Shopping: Pets: Exotic or a more appropriate category under Shopping: Pets.

***If you are seeking a description change, be sure the description you are submitting meets ODP guidelines.

1. Before you submit your site, look for a subcategory. Information about this hobby is often very specialized; submitting your site to the proper subcategory will help your information reach the right people. It''s also easier on the editors and may result in your site being listed faster.

2. If you are selling a particular product or product line, or are running a site of which the main function is product sales _do not_ submit here. Submit to Shopping/Pets/Fish instead. Submitting here *will not* get your site listed in this category, and repeatedly submitting to this branch of the directory may result in your site being removed altogether.

3. If your site is not in the English language, do not submit here. Submit in the appropriate category of World/; you will find links to aquarium categories in various languages on the main Recreation/Pets/Fish_and_Aquaria page, near the top. If yours is a bilingual site submit the English index page and not a front language-selector page.

4. Redirect URLs, such as *.de.vu or *.come.to, especially those which use a frame as their backend, will be changed to refer to the proper URL, for many reasons.

5. If your site is a chat, submit to Chats and Forums. Similarly, if it is a directory, freshwater specific, or marine specific submit to the proper category.

By the Terms of Service, the editors and staff reserve the right to place pages in categories they deem most appropriate, and to describe them as we see fit. Submitting to (or near to) the proper category generally results in faster placement of your site in the ODP. Placement of sites in subcategories makes the directory more user-friendly and thus (ideally) brings you more hits.

Happy fishkeeping, and thank you for your submission!--from the ODP Fish and Aquaria editors.

Sites about horses as pets should be submitted to Sports: Equestrian: Personal Pages.

Sites covering the equestrian arts should be submitted to Sports/Equestrian.

Sites covering breeding should be submitted to Sports/Equestrian.

Sites covering business aspects of horses should be submitted to Business/Industries/Agriculture_and_Forestry/Livestock/Horses_and_Ponies .

This category includes sites offering photo collections of pet images and photographs. These photo collections should include more than one type of pet. Generally, photos should be of professional quality. Sites that include personal photograph collections of your pets should be submitted under Recreation/Pets/Personal_Pages/

Image Galleries devoted to a specific type of pet (e.g., dogs, cats, etc.) should be submitted under the specific category for that pet.

If your site is about Pets themselves, please check out Recreation/Pets before submitting here.

If your site is a Home Page about pets, please check out Home Pages before submitting here.

Sites should be primarily concerned with pigs as pets.

For sites pertaining to pigs used for food, see Science/Biology/Genetics/Eukaryotic/Animal/Mammal/Swine or Business/Agriculture_and_Forestry/Livestock/Swine

Sites offering online consumer sales of pig-related merchandise should be submitted to the appropriate category under Shopping/Pets

Commercial sites will only be listed if they include substantial non-commercial content.

For Rescues and Sanctuary sites, see Recreation/Pets/Pigs/Rescues_and_Shelters

For Organizations other than rescues and sanctuaries, see Recreation/Pets/Pigs/Organizations

For sites about an individual''s pet pig(s), see Recreation/Pets/Pigs/Personal_Pages

For sites offering pigs for sale, see Recreation/Pets/Pigs/Breeders

Breeders'' sites should consist of more than just contact information.

Please submit the main URL for the site and include a brief description of the site''s features and content.

Sites offering links for a single specific species of animal should be submitted to the appropriate category for that animal.

Directory sites should have a substantial number of listings to be considered for an ODP listing. When a site has, say, two or three petsitters for all of Texas, then the site isn''t going to be listable.

If you submit a pet sitting service site to this category, it won''t be listed here. It will be moved to the appropriate Regional category. Directory sites that are specific to a small region, say a single state or a single city, should be submitted to that state of city''s Regional category.

Note that there is NO Recreation/Pets/Kennels category. Kennels should be submitted to the locality where they do business.

Sites selling book about "how to be a pet sitter" should go to Shopping/Publications/Books/Personal_Growth/Career_Planning/

Note that there is NO Recreation/Pets/Dogs/Walkers category. Dog walkers should submit their sites to the locality in which they do business.
