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.



Shamo

I'm available!




Shamo came to DunRoamin' on June 24, 2026, from the Woodstock area with her mom Silkie and her five other kittens, Foghorn, Leghorn, Minorca, Brahma and Orpington.  Silkie had given birth to her kittens on a lawn in the rain the previous day.  Silkie was in distress, so was fortunate to have been taken indoors so she and her babies might be warm, safe and dry.  Unfortunately, little Foghorn was not doing well and passed away the next day.  Leghorn passed away several days later due to a heart defect.

Shamo and her siblings were born on June 23, 2026 and were under constant care to ensure all would be well with them.   Silkie was a very good mom who took good care of them, and as of September 1, 2026, they were thriving.  They are now spayed, neutered, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV, FeLV and Heartworm and treated for all parasites.  They are now ready for homes, and we hope they might be adopted in pairs, as they have always been together, had a warm, furry body to cuddle and play with, and to help expend all their kitten energy!  They were fostered by a loving family where they learned love and security, as well as the confidence that comes with a truly caring family.

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.
