Dunroamin' Stray and Rescue

We're all dunroamin'



"DunRoamin'" means just that: our strays are all done roaming, are safe at last and will finally receive the medical care, attention and the family they deserve.

DunRoamin's mandate is to help those strays who have no one to care for them - the ones who are abandoned, abused, injured, neglected and have no other alternative for life. We cannot accept healthy animals, as we would very quickly have no room for the ones who truly need us - the ones who would most likely "fall through the cracks" of our current system.

We focus on three main aspects:

"TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE"

This website is dedicated to the volunteers and supporters who consistently go above and beyond to help abandoned, abused, neglected, sick and injured strays in our communities. This includes donors, fund raisers, litter scoopers, vet staff, drivers, cuddlers, adopters, fosters and many others who routinely give freely of their time, abilities and resources to help those animals less fortunate.

We'd also like to dedicate this new site to Susan and Lauren Crompton, the originators of DunRoamin's first official website, www.bekindtogodscreatures.com, which was instrumental in bringing DunRoamin' to the attention of others and helping to educate and pass on our message of the requirement for spaying and neutering our pets so that they do not contribute to the already overwhelming number of homeless animals.



Bertie

I'm available!




Bertie came to DunRoamin' on December 2, 2014 from the Plaster Rock area.  She had been surrendered to a shelter as she was peeing in the bathtub.  When she was taken to be spayed, it was learned she had been pregnant and had been bitten in her belly.  Her two kittens had already passed away, and she needed help which the shelter was unable to provide.  She had no other option for life, so she was immediately accepted by DunRoamin'.  Bertie was born about December 1, 2012.

With the love and medical care provided by her new family, Bertie soon blossomed into a healthy, happy little girl.  She participated as a member of our Cats For Seniors program for many years, and returned to us in 2025.  She was diagnosed as diabetic, but only requires diabetic food and some liquid medication which she eats on her food, and she does so with gusto!

Bertie is a beautiful little girl who loves company, loves to snuggle and loves to be in the same room with any human who loves her.  She is a senior citizen who is still awaiting a family of her very own.  She would love to be an only cat for the human who would give her ALL their attention, but she wouldn't mind one other cat, either!  Bertie is a sweetheart, and she looks forward to the family who will finally locate her - the perfect cat!

We focus on three main aspects:

  • Rescue: helping those strays who are injured, neglected, sick, etc and have no one to care for them. We also try to help those who are too sick, too injured or too young to survive in a normal shelter setting.
  • Treatment: providing food, medication, surgery, etc to all rescued animals as required. This also includes helping them to find foster and permanent homes, and ensuring they have the life they deserve which is safe, secure and free of fear.
  • Education: we endeavour to set an inspiring example. We believe animals are deserving of our care and respect. Through our responsible guardianship of the pet, by ensuring they are spayed or neutered, by providing briefings, handouts, flyers, newspaper articles, etc, we try to encourage people to treat all animals with compassion and respect. Our main target group is the younger generation so that they will do better by animals, as hopefully we have improved upon their treatment through the advancements since our parents' and grandparents' generations.

So far we've helped over 6000 animals find their forever homes.

There are currently 72 hoping to find theirs.
