Well, here's a fellow who's doing more than his part to do some of that matching up. He's put online a huge directory of dog rescue resources, by breed. Kyler Laird's Breed Rescue Organizations.

It's a goldmine of information about what to look for on a label and understanding it when you see it.

It seems to me I heard it come out of the mouth of a politician from somewhere south of me talking about a piece of legislation proposed by a member of the other party. "Scent Hurdles", a relative of flyball, will let your dog use its nose without having to go on a hunt.
