Education and Training

Education and training of specialists

The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation's guiding principle is "Let's tackle the root of the problem". In addition to the optimisation of animal shelters and neutering campaigns in Switzerland and many other countries, the training and further education of veterinarians and animal protectionists is an important pillar of this philosophy: The SUST veterinary training courses are known for their quality and efficiency.

Animal welfare activists learn elementary principles for the handling and care of animals and for the management of animal shelters, veterinarians are brought up to date with the latest neutering techniques by internationally recognized colleagues and experience new and important things for the implementation of such campaigns.

This lays the foundation for further successful neutering campaigns to meet the quality standard demanded by SUST: This means that countless unwanted young animals do not have to be born and suffer in the first place. It has been proven that the overpopulation of dogs and cats can only be contained in the long term and animal-friendly by neutering campaigns.

This is what we have set ourselves the goal of our animal welfare work: the problem is being tackled at the root!

The pillar "basic and advanced training of specialists" includes

- Courses at the SUST Academy
- Veterinary training in different countries
- Animal welfare seminars in different countries
- ERFA events in Switzerland
- Internships for veterinarians, students and veterinary assistants in different countries
- Trainee programme for young Swiss veterinarians of SUST and Kompanima
- personal training of experts during SUST operations
- Co-financing of training centres

The young animal season in Romania has officially begun!

April 2024

Already, the first baby foxes, squirrels, wild rabbits, and birds have been brought to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center "Luana's Dream" in Bucharest. To meet the expected influx of young animals, a SUST team is already prepared to assist the local team with raising and caring for these animals this spring.

Please remember, if you happen to find a young animal in the near future: Not every baby animal needs rescue! Often, the mother is nearby, waiting to return to her young. Even if you are certain that a young animal is orphaned or injured, it's best to contact a wildlife expert (wildlife station, bird observatory, squirrel or hedgehog station) before taking any action. Otherwise, avoid touching the young animal and move away from the location as quickly as possible.

SUST has been supporting "Luana's Dream" for many years. In addition to funding various construction projects, it fully covers the care for orphaned and injured young animals through the Orphan Wildlife @ Wildlife Rehabilitation Center "Luana's Dream" project.
