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:

Emergency aid

SUST Emergency help is done by

  • Animal rescue operations
  • Social work in Switzerland
  • Financing of all livestock rescue services of the Swiss Large Animal Rescue Service
  • Laying hens actions (switching of "out-of-date" laying hens)
  • Organisation, implementation and/or financing of emergency plans and operations
  • Work horse treatments
  • First aid and veterinary interventions

 
and through the

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).

Spectacular rescue operation in Hurghada!

July 2023

Our clinic team in Hurghada received a message that a cat was in a hopeless situation and had no access to water or food for days. She had probably jumped from a roof onto a balcony further down, from where she could no longer leave. No one was able to provide the team that was dispatched with access to the balcony or the surrounding apartments. Fortunately, the civil defense team that was contacted was immediately ready to move in with a long ladder to rescue the cat from the outside, which was screaming loudly for help. Unfortunately, the weakened animal was still strong enough to escape the rescuer's courageous grip and jump into the depths. With two broken legs, the cat could finally be brought to the SUST Animal Orphanage Hospital. There she was successfully operated on the following day. However, it will be a while before the animal can go on new adventures.
Thank you very much for your support of our animal welfare work!
