Animal Shelter Support

How shelter animals are helped

During the time animals have to spend in an animal shelter, they are entitled to appropriate accommodation (if possible), veterinary care and professional care. Simple wishes, the fulfilment of which is often complex and expensive.
 
The reorganization work of the SUST supports many different animal shelters and animal welfare projects at home and abroad and contributes to the fulfilment of these factors. In this way, serious and independent animal welfare organisations can grow out of needy associations, which in the future can help countless animals to a species-appropriate accommodation and a new, good home. In order to optimize an animal shelter and to bring it on the way of the professional animal assistance, usually years of cooperation and company are necessary.
 
This support can have many different faces: sometimes the experts of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation organise a complete rebuilding of an animal shelter, they provide first aid for animals, train experts and carry out castration and aid campaigns.

In dialogue with the animal welfare activists concerned, the restructuring of animal shelters, advice on setting up and managing animal welfare projects and the further training of experts are addressed.
 
The area of the pillar "shelter support" includes
 
- Carrying out of work days in Swiss animal shelters
- Implementation of weeks in foreign animal shelters
- structural change/supplementation of animal shelter facilities
- Reorganization of animal shelter processes
- Coordination and financing of craftsmen's and construction work
- Supply of animal feed
- Delivery of animal shelter equipment (each year 80 - 100 tons of animal utensils leave the SUST warehouse)
- Supply of building materials
- Financing of feed and other material
- Provision of emergency and direct help
- Management of the SUST-material collection action
 
In many cases, SUST provides direct aid without any third party ever knowing about it. Emergency scenarios and plans are set up in no time at all, experts are dispatched and assistance operations are carried out - in emergencies, the organisation provides fast, unbureaucratic and discreet help. When shelters need help, the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation is there for them.
 
The activities of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation are financed exclusively by donations and legacies (no public support).

All 3 puppies have received a starting sponsorship

February 2024

Puppies are adorable, there's no doubt about that. And yet their joy is limited when our colleagues in Galati (Romania) find abandoned puppies in front of the animal shelter. Now some people will say: At least in front of the shelter, where they are sure to be found. But: 1. there are free-roaming dogs there too, who are not exactly squeamish about intruders in their territory (so there is an acute danger to life) and 2. it is of course clear that the little ones cannot stay there and therefore have to be taken in - regardless of the shelter's spatial capacities. This can quickly push a shelter to its limits. 3. the mother dog will probably soon give birth to the next unwanted puppies if she is not neutered.
But yes, even these three little puppies will find a place somewhere with us where they can recover and regain their strength. At the moment they are still very shy and scream with fear when you try to touch them.
 
With their initial sponsorship in the form of a one-off donation of CHF 100, the godparents help to cover the initial costs for the three puppies.
The little ones will be examined, dewormed, vaccinated and tested for viral diseases at our animal orphan hospital.They also receive a health passport.We also cover part of the food costs in the early days.
As a thank you for your good deed, you will receive a nice certificate and can also choose a suitable name for "your" puppy.
