Emergency aid

How animal lifes are saved

Those animals that are not yet able to benefit from the effects of the sustainable SUST development work and have been born into a world where they are not wanted need immediate help.

SUST offers immediate assistance through:

SUST Orphan Animal Hospitals (SUST)

In many countries countless abandoned animals live on the streets. Many of these dogs and cats have been abandoned or have already been born as strays. Life on the street is dangerous and full of privation. Injured and sick animals usually have no chance of surviving and die mostly painfully and alone on the street. In such cases, there is often not a lack of willingness to help animal-loving people, but a lack of financial means to have street animals treated by a veterinarian.

To help these animals in need, the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation set up the SUST Orphan Animal Hospitals.

There are currently one of these institutions in

Ever since its opening, animals that have been injured or ill are admitted daily to the SUST Orphan Animal Hospitals, where they are cared for and treated professionally. If the animals are healthy and strong enough to survive on the streets after their recovery, they will be released back to their territory. Special patients with special needs will be accommodated in animal shelters if possible. Fortunately, it is also possible to find new life places for patients on an ongoing basis.

The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation finances the veterinary costs, clinic equipment, medicines, operations, therapies, food and care in the animal orphan hospitals. Often, SUST also finances the construction of the corresponding clinic.

The activities of the Susy Utzinger Foundation for Animal Welfare are financed exclusively by donations and legacies (no public support).

All animals deserve help!

June 2023

Around 84,000 people who have fled Ukraine have sought protection in Switzerland between the start of the war in February 2022 and June 2023. Many pets have fled with them.

In addition to regular treatments, these animals also need regular vaccination protection, and now many of those vaccinations are due again.

The SUST Social Work for Animals (SOFT) regularly conducts veterinary consultations throughout Switzerland for animals of Swiss people affected by poverty and also those seeking protection. With SOFT, we offer treatments, vaccinations and medications at greatly reduced prices. In Wil (SG), 7 pet owners and thus 6 dogs and 1 cat benefited from this offer on June 15 thanks to your support.

The animals of people with low income need your help.

These animals cannot help being in this situation.
