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).

With your donation you help to help shelter animals!

SUST volunteer Sarah Fehr is our expert for Bolivia and the Amazon

The certified animal keeper is regularly on site in the SUST partner project La Senda Verde Animal Sanctuary, Bolivia.

"The pictures and videos that reach me from my second home are heartbreaking - wounded and burnt beyond recognition animals, burnt trees as far as the video camera can reach and at the same time many volunteers and professional helpers who give everything to stop the fires.

My heart burns with and for Bolivia! And after I have overcome the paralyzing impotence from all the suffering, I ask at this point full of hope for your support. "My" animal reserve has launched a fundraising campaign to counteract this catastrophe."

The money raised will go towards a much-needed emergency plan for the Chiquitania region, a unique ecosystem particularly hard hit by the fires. A group of experts - including biologists, ecologists, veterinarians and various animal welfare organisations such as Senda Verde - will meet today (Monday September 2) for the first time to define the necessary measures

Your donations will be used for the following purposes:

1. medical care for injured animals: so far only very few animals have been found, most of them are dead. Many material donations have already been received for the few survivors. They will be treated by local veterinarians and released as soon as possible. Only special cases (so far an ocelot and a Puma young animal) are accommodated in reserves.

2. transport and distribution of water and food so that the wild animals do not starve / die of thirst near the fires.

3. bring the necessary specialists to the affected areas to develop detailed analyses and reforestation solution strategies.

Every amount and every Like / Share is crucial and can make a big difference. If the necessary credit card is missing, you can also donate via the Animalma association account: IBAN CH28 0070 0110 0052 6032 0 / Account number: 80-151-4 / In favour of: Animalma, 8000 Zürich / Note "SOS Bolivia"
