In addition to the food donations, the SUST veterinary consultations of the Social Work for Animals are available to refugees and their animals free of charge. This at the locations Biel, Schaffhausen, Kollbrunn, Chur, Wil SG and Olten.
Necessary data for the registration are:
- Name of pet owner
- Complete home address
- Telephone number and e-mail
- Animal species
- Breed (for dogs),
- sex
- Age
- weight
- Reason for appointment
- Is the animal neutered
In addition, the confirmation of social assistance must be sent.
The offer is directed at animal owners affected by poverty and their animals:
- Welfare recipients and/or people with addiction or mental health problems.
- Adults, whose center of life is mostly in the public space, who are not or only partly reached by the other social offers (homeless people)
- Persons or families with low income
- IV- / EO- or other support receiving pet owners
On the other hand, the Foundation does not cover veterinary expenses incurred outside the project.
The prerequisite for participation in the consultation hours is a maximum monthly income of CHF 2,500 for an individual or CHF 4,000 for a family. This is checked by means of confirmation of social assistance or the last tax statement.
