Help animals

The activities of SUST

All over the world, countless animals in overcrowded shelters live sadly or struggle for their survival in wild colonies. Day after day, even today, animals that have become inconvenient are still abandoned, deported or mistakenly kept for lack of better knowledge. The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation contributes with effective means to the fact that animal suffering can be reduced or even prevented sustainably.

This animal welfare work is based on four pillars:

1. Competence Centre Animal Shelter: Animal shelters become high-quality transition stations for homeless animals, where animals are kept and promoted in a way that is appropriate for their species and finally transferred to good new places.

2. Neutering campaigns: Braking the animal misery

3. Education and training of specialists: Specialists are given the opportunity to optimise their knowledge and improve animal welfare.

4. Education of the population: love of animals with heart and mind

These four elements form the important basis for sustainable animal welfare projects.

Those animals that are not yet able to benefit from the effects of this reconstruction work and have been born into a world where they are not wanted need the emergency aid of SUST.

10th SUST charity dog military

A complete success!

For the 10th time, numerous dogs and their owners gathered in Rifferswil on May 20 to participate in the annual SUST charity dog military. In ideal weather conditions for dog-lovers, around 240 teams proved their great skill, knowledge and ability at eight posts on the 8.5 km long course. We are very happy that so many people and dogs found their way to Rifferswil and supported us with their entry fees and donations. The total income of CHF 7'220.00 will be used for various animal protection projects of SUST.

Responsible for the great success were:
