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

Start godmother found - many thanks to Ursula F.!

February 2024

This sweet young dog had to put up with a lot in the first seven months of his life. His mentally ill previous owner starved him, beat him and tied him to a short chain. In the end, her daughter could no longer stand by and begged us to take the young male dog in. We didn't have to think about it for long, because there was no way he could stay there.
At the moment, all medical measures (vaccinations, deworming) are being taken so that he can soon move from the animal orphanage in Galati (Romania) to the affiliated animal shelter.
After an initial - understandable! - mistrust, he has developed into a grateful cuddler within a short space of time. We hope that he will soon forget his negative experiences.

By becoming a starter sponsor, you can make a one-off donation of CHF 100 towards the vet costs and thus make an important contribution to helping animals like this male dog get a new start in a better life. The sponsor will receive a nice certificate as a thank you and can also choose a suitable name for him.
