How animal lifes are saved

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).

Monkey babies finally free

February 2022

In November, two frightened baby monkeys arrived at the SUST Orphan Animal Hospital: a capuchin monkey and a spider monkey. After spending some time in the clinic, they were allowed to move into a large outdoor enclosure. Here they got acquainted with the environment and the other monkeys - through the bars. This month was the next step: the enclosure was opened for them! The capuchin monkey Rasu was quickly gone and could later be spotted high up in the trees with the other capuchins. The young male spider monkey Ashuke was a bit more cautious. He still stays close to the enclosure and seeks its protection at night. So even among the monkeys, some are braver and some are more cautious. Slowly, little Ashuke is starting to explore the surroundings.
This, of course, always with the help of Yanay, the spider monkey's adoptive mother, who is always happy to take care of the little ones and show them everything until they can stand on their own little legs.
