This isn't true: in Italy there are animal shelters that take lost animals
but they have also some boxes to take pets from people who go on holiday.
If we are looking for a general tag, we have to find one that can fit in all
the world.
The distinction you say can be done with additional tags, like
boarding=yes/no, stray=yes/no.
