After the violent storm in Italy in recent weeks, an Ikea branch decided to let street dogs live in the furniture exhibition.
The enthusiasm among the customers is great.
Catania - With its practical - and above all affordable - offers, Ikea has been making extremely positive headlines for years.
Many, including living psychologists, are now talking about a real “Ikea phenomenon”.
But the Swedish furniture store has not only captured the hearts of buyers with its furniture and funny furnishings: Ikea also takes care of animals.
Also interesting: attention, consumers!
Furniture giant Ikea is recalling one of its popular products.
It is one of the extending tables.
Ikea branch in Catania accepts street dogs: customers are enthusiastic
A branch of the Swedish furniture company opened its doors to street dogs for a few days.
This cute story takes place in the Ikea store in Catania, Italy.
The historic port city on the east coast of Sicily has had to deal with severe storms in recent weeks.
There were dead and injured, and many of the island's residents have no home since then.
Of course, animals were also affected, especially street dogs.
Hence the idea of the group to take the dogs in the branch to give them a warm and safe place.

#ikeacatania ❤️❤️❤️ Nice IKEA store opens its doors to protect stray dogs from the cold.
The staff have gone above and beyond merely selling furnishing to fill a house, they've begun providing a home to pups who need it most and the reception from customers couldn't be warmer.
Nestled cozily among a living room display - and that little taste of home was actually a gift for these pups.
Photos were taken by Ikea customers touched by the stores loving gesture.

In the comments, many users thank Ikea for the gesture.
One user writes: “A great example of civilization.
Thank you Ikea. ”Another writes:“ There can be no better advertising. ”Many wonder whether the dogs can be adopted.
And yes it is possible.
Ikea store in Catania records street dogs: cute Facebook video
Martine Taccia, Ikea customer in Catania, told the news portal
thedodo.com
that some animals are said to have found new families this way.
The Italian also documented the situation in the Sicilian Ikea branch in a cute video that she posted on her Facebook account a few days ago.
She also said that the dogs in the branch get food every day and are looked after by Ikea employees.
It is unclear who is walking the dogs, presumably the employees.
It is not the first time that the Swedish furniture giant has shown a heart for animals.
Some time ago,
a collaboration between Ikea and the
Home for Hope
Foundation
caused positive headlines and enthusiasm among customers.
In the process, profiles of dogs who were sitting in animal shelters and waiting for a new family were displayed in several branches.
Sometimes you have to be careful at Ikea, however: a woman made a mistake there and was arrested for it.
