In Memory of Millie
Millie was born on May 25, 2005. Her mother, Edie, was a stray rescued by DunRoamin’. Adopting a dog wasn’t in the cards for Mom and Dad. Millie was an unplanned addition to the family. I had picked one of Edie’s litter a few weeks earlier and on...
WE’RE ALL DUNROAMIN’
OMEN It may be that Dr Monteith and I have come up with a new treatment modality. At least it seems to have worked for us this time. A few more clinical trials should give us more information on its effectiveness. I guess I should start at the...
Kitty Rescue Operation
Perth-Andover… The elusive Park Street Vagabond Kitty has been safely live trapped and is receiving medical attention from the wonderful people at DunRoamin” . This black & white cat was abandoned by its owner about five years ago. It took to the streets and became semi-feral. People in...
WE’RE ALL DUNROAMIN’

WE’RE ALL DUNROAMIN’
MANLEY Call me fickle, but I have to tell you about my newest favourite dog, Manley. He was removed from terrible living conditions by a strong DunRoamin’ supporter who deals in rental properties. He’s a six- or seven-month old possible Great Dane mix, black and tan with a little...
Please Help Keep the Shelter Open
The following quote about animal rescue workers was found online and forwarded to me by a friend and colleague. I could have said it better myself. We are human. We try our best, and yes – sometimes we make mistakes, or misspeak or use the wrong tone of voice....
Tales from Big Tig
Hi! It’s Bigger Tigger! I got an excitin’ tale this week! Angie says we took years off her life, and we all need a home soon. She’s so funny. One day us kittens were hanging in our hammocks (Angie says those are sun shades, not hammocks, but we...
