I love miniature Australian shepherds for many reasons, they are smart, affectionate, bond closely to their people and make excellent guard dogs. But many mini Aussies end up in rescue because people love cute puppies and then fall out of love when they discover their cute puppy needs a minimum of an hour a day of active exercise, the darling puppy is demanding, wants attention, wants to play, needs training and becomes destructive when left alone for long. For these reasons too many mini Aussies end up in rescue.

I was inspired to create these holiday cards because I love my two mini Aussies, Ernest who is three-years-old, our old man, rescue, Rusty, who is 13-years old. I volunteer with a regional rescue, Miniature Australian Shepherd Rescue and Support, MARS, http://www.miniaussierescue.org. 

30 percent of each sale will be donated to MARS to help these wonderful dogs.
