Great Dane Dog Breed Sculpture Ornament
from For Love of a Dog Jewelry and Gifts

The origins of the Great Dane dog breed can be traced to the Irish Wolfhound and the old English Mastiff.  Historians claim that there are drawings of dogs that resemble the Great Dane on Egyptian monuments from roughly 3000 BC.  The earliest written description of a dog resembling the Great Dane dog breed can be found in Chinese literature dating back to 1121 BC.   What an amazing history!

If your heart has been captured by one of these elegant gentle giants, then take a look at the Great Dane dog breed sculpture ornaments from For Love of a Dog.

Adopt Charlie an Adoptable Great Dane Mix Trained by Puppies for Parole

Charlie, a Great Dane mix dog at Missouri
Puppies for Parole training program

For Love of a Dog would like to introduce you to Charlie, a Great Dane mixed breed dog available for adoption.

Charlie is a male Great Dane mix who is receiving his training at the Jefferson City Correctional Center through the Puppies for Parole program. His parole office is the Jefferson City Animal Shelter (which means that is the Puppies for Parole shelter / rescue partner for Charlie.)

Charlie is 70+ pounds of pure muscle and a tri-color mass of canine puppy.  Although 2 years old, he has the attention span and enthusiasm of a 6 month old puppy.  He's also more than 30 pounds underweight.  He will be a huge dog and will require lots of room to run and play. 

Puppies for Parole is a program of the Missouri Department of Corrections made possible through partnerships with animal shelters and animal advocate groups statewide. Selected offenders have the opportunity to become trainers to rescue dogs in the program. Offenders work with the dogs teaching them basic obedience skills and properly socializing the animals, making them more adoptable. Once the dogs have successfully completed the program they are sent back to their original shelter to be placed up for adoption. Last year in Missouri, more than 46,000 homeless canines were euthanized. Puppies for Parole hopes to reduce that number by producing loving, obedient, adoptable dogs.
