We’ve consulted the crystal ball, and the prediction is clear: more puppy kisses, more laughter, and a suspicious number of toys scattered across your floor. Meet Fortune Teller, Omen, and Oracle, three 10-12 week old fluffy Border Collie/Aussie sisters rescued from a shelter who are ready to discover what their futures hold. Each is looking for her own adoptive home—and each brings her own special brand of puppy magic.   These girls are soft, squirmy bundles of enthusiasm. Pick one up for a little nuzzle and she’ll happily soak up the affection before wiggling off to wrestle, explore, or show you just how exciting it is to be a puppy.   Fortune Teller: She Sees a Playmate in Your Future   Fortune Teller’s favorite question is, “Want to play?” Her favorite answer is yes, and her preferred activity is a good wrestling match with a willing canine companion. Toys are fine, but an actual playmate? That’s where the magic happens.   She has blossomed into an affectionate, confident girl who loves joining the action. She’ll follow you around to investigate what you’re doing, then head off for her next adventure. She prefers being near you to settling in for a long cuddle—there is simply too much fun to fit into the day!   Fortune Teller would especially enjoy a home with another playful dog. She also loves playing with the neighborhood children and could have a wonderful time with kids who enjoy puppy games. Expect zoomies, wrestling matches, and plenty of naps to recharge her batteries. Even a professional fortune teller needs her beauty sleep.   Omen: All Signs Point to a Good Girl   Despite her mysterious name, Omen is sending out some very reassuring signals. Her foster describes her as one of the most adaptable puppies they’ve ever had: inside, outside, in her crate, with people, entertaining herself, or playing with her sisters—it’s all good with Omen.   She’s the clever, curious sister who enjoys company but also knows how to occupy herself with a toy. When the humans settle on the couch, she’s happy to relax on a nearby dog bed. She might follow you to see what you’re up to, although an interesting discovery along the way can quickly change her itinerary.   Omen has a playful side, complete with zoomies and sibling wrestling, but she doesn’t need someone directing every moment of her day. She could fit nicely into a variety of homes, with children, another dog, or as the only pup, provided she gets the attention, playtime, and guidance every growing puppy needs.   Oracle: Your Personal Welcome Committee   Oracle’s prediction is that wherever you’re going, she’d like to come along. The most people-focused of the sisters, she is the first to run over when you visit and loves being picked up. She enjoys sitting beside you for pets, keeping track of your activities, and making sure she hasn’t missed an opportunity to say hello.   Her signature move? Sitting on your foot and hanging on when you take a step. Why walk independently when your favorite person offers such convenient transportation?   Oracle also loves wrestling with Fortune Teller and can happily spend some time with a toy on her own. She isn’t a long-session lap cuddler, but she clearly treasures human company and can get a little sad when left alone for a while. Her ideal home will include people who have plenty of time for companionship, play, and helping her grow comfortable with time apart.   A Day in the Life of the Future   The sisters sleep in a crate overnight and wake around 7:30 a.m., ready for a trip to the yard. They currently graze on their food rather than following set mealtimes. Their days alternate between yard adventures, living-room play, and well-earned naps on the floor, dog beds, or couch.   They love running, chasing, and wrestling together, with Fortune Teller often leading the fun. Once the excitement winds down, they’re happy to find a comfortable spot and snooze. These puppies believe in both living life to the fullest and taking a very thorough nap afterward.   Friends, First Lessons, and Puppy Preparations   All three enjoy playing with the neighborhood children, ages seven to nine. They also live with a cat who prefers to keep his distance. The puppies watch him with interest and sometimes offer a few hopeful barks to invite him to play, but they are learning to respect his space. Any introductions to a resident cat should continue slowly and with supervision.  Like all teething puppies, they enjoy chewing and tugging, so suitable puppy toys and a carefully puppy-proofed home are essential. They aren’t frequent barkers, although an exciting wrestling match or a highly desirable toy can inspire a little commentary.   Three Sisters, Three Bright Futures   Whether you’re drawn to Fortune Teller’s playful confidence, Omen’s easygoing adaptability, or Oracle’s devoted little welcome committee, these girls have plenty to offer. They’ll need patient families ready for puppy training, daily play, and all the growing up still to come.   The crystal ball can’t tell us exactly where they’ll land, but we’re hoping each future includes a loving home, a cozy bed, and someone who thinks a little fluff makes everything better.
