[Tagging] Animal rescue centre

Hi Has anybody tagged an Animal rescue centre. A place where abandoned/rescued animals are homed until a new home can be found? I can't find anything appropriate in tag search. I think Animal rescue centre would be the best option if nobody has an alternative. Cheers Dave F.
