Offering to keep dogs and cats in stall means welcoming the animals and taking care of them while waiting for someone to adopt them, saving them from the street and thus preventing them from ending up in a kennel or cattery. You grow them, feed them, love them and keep them in your home for as long as necessary, but then you let them go to their new families, not without a few tears pouring from your eyes.

Offer to hold in stall dogs and cats it means welcoming animals and taking care of them while waiting for someone to adopt them, saving them from the street and thus preventing them from ending up in a kennel or cattery. You grow them, feed them, love them and keep them in your home for as long as necessary, but then you let them go to their new families, not without a few tears gushing from the eyes.
This leaves room for another dog or cat in distress. It is hard work and requires time, patience and dedication, but the satisfaction of having offered a chance for a new and peaceful life to an animal that could have come to a bad end remains. Rescued dogs and cats have often never lived in a house and must therefore be armed with a lot of patience and estimate peeing on the carpet, gnawed furniture, tears when left alone or not knowing how to go on a leash, as the association explains Save a print.
In short, taking a stalled animal involves the same responsibility that one has towards one's own but with greater commitment. Do you want to offer a stall? Before applying to the associations in your area, perhaps after doing some volunteering with them, it is better to ask yourself the following questions: do I have enough time to dedicate to the furry guest? Does the landlord agree? Are the neighbors animal friends and tolerate barking or peeing under the door? Will the guest be welcome by their furry ones? Am I willing to host the dog for as long as it takes to find him an adoption even if it is a long period?
Beth Stern, presidente della North Shore Animal League America foster program, welcomed many litters of cats, often orphaned. She says she knows what each of them loves to eat, where she loves to rub and what their favorite games are. There is no doubt, therefore, that greeting the housed animal is the hardest part. This list, compiled by Stern, could help encourage people who are considering offering a stall:
1) Always remember that you are saving a life
2) Do not forget the goal: to help the animal find a home and a lot of love forever
3) Learn to celebrate successful adoptions
4) Don't feel guilty. The animals are strong and have excellent adaptability
5) Take a break between one stall and another
6) Keep memories
