Banshee and Darko were surrendered on 1\/11\/26 due to their owner’s allergies. They were introduced to Dan whose cagemate had passed away. They were all made sanctuary due to their age and various health issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Banshee is full of energy. She climbs all over the cage and is inseparable with her sister, Darko. She enjoys exploring during free roam and is a very good jumper. Initially, she was unsure about being picked up, but her social personality quickly comes out when she gets used to her new environment. She’s always at the front of the cage, ready to greet you and is easy to handle, but she prefers to be active compared to staying in one place. Banshee is an avid hoarder, given half a chance.<\/p>\n

Darko takes a little more time to get comfortable in new environments, but she is by no means shy, just a little less outgoing than Banshee. Although she isn’t a huge fan of being held in a hand for too long, she has no issues doing her own thing and walking all over you when she feels secure in her surroundings. Like Banshee, she is very food motivated and follows a food lure, so I could see both of them doing well with trick training. Everyone knows how to “give paw.” Between the two girls, Darko in particular has bonded well with Dan, often using him as a giant pillow.<\/p>\n<\/div>
