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!

- Courses at the SUST Academy

Puppies, puppies, who doesn't love them?!

March 2024

Of course, those little, clumsy rascals are incredibly cute. But - many of these animals are born into a world where they have little to no chance of a life as we imagine for a puppy. Sustainable animal welfare means that such sad stories of suffering don't arise in the first place. We continue to work determinedly to tackle the problem at its root.

However, we all here at SUST-OAH Moreni in Romania believe that living beings deserve to be loved and treated with respect. That's why we never reject the opportunity to give animals the best chances - with deworming, flea and tick treatment, vaccinations, and more.

In this way, we also work to alleviate the suffering of these animals when they are abandoned alone and inexperienced on the streets or in remote areas. Four puppy siblings were found screaming at the side of a busy road and brought to us at the animal orphanage hospital by a veterinary student. Even he is amazed that it's possible to receive top-notch medical services - which we can offer here at the SUST Orphan Animal Hospital - for free. That's why our pillar of education is as important as our foundation: SUST Emergency Relief. We remain active on all levels - and help where we can.

Thanks to your donations, we were able to provide the puppies with free deworming and flea/tick treatment, as well as a special shampoo treatment for skin problems. In return, their rescuer has promised to find them good homes. All's well that ends well!
