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

Starting a ball rolling!

May 2023

Olesia fled from Ukraine to Switzerland last year.
She had to leave her beloved but elderly dog with her elderly parents. For seniors, the long and arduous flight is too dangerous.
From here, Olesia tried again and again to organize private transports of relief supplies to the regions of Kiev and Zaporizhzhya and to the city of Wuhledar.
On one of her requests there were so many offers that there was always free space for animal food, which we now give whenever possible.
In return, Olesia always sends us photos when the food has arrived. Small highlights, in this terrible reality.
We have put together the latest pictures in a collage for you - because thanks to your donations, these "stones can still roll a little further".
But the support of those left behind in Ukraine is still needed. Every contribution to our feed account saves animals in need! THANK YOU!
