Help animals

The activities of SUST

All over the world, countless animals in overcrowded shelters live sadly or struggle for their survival in wild colonies. Day after day, even today, animals that have become inconvenient are still abandoned, deported or mistakenly kept for lack of better knowledge. The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation contributes with effective means to the fact that animal suffering can be reduced or even prevented sustainably.

This animal welfare work is based on four pillars:

1. Competence Centre Animal Shelter: Animal shelters become high-quality transition stations for homeless animals, where animals are kept and promoted in a way that is appropriate for their species and finally transferred to good new places.

2. Neutering campaigns: Braking the animal misery

3. Education and training of specialists: Specialists are given the opportunity to optimise their knowledge and improve animal welfare.

4. Education of the population: love of animals with heart and mind

These four elements form the important basis for sustainable animal welfare projects.

Those animals that are not yet able to benefit from the effects of this reconstruction work and have been born into a world where they are not wanted need the emergency aid of SUST.

Hedgehog patient with severe burns

April 2023

This female hedgehog was admitted to the wildlife rehabilitation center "Luana's Dream" in Bucharest, Romania, in mid-March with severe burns. After intensive treatment, the little animal slowly recovered and gained weight.
Although he is already much better, he will not be able to be released into the wild this year. It will take a long time for his spines to fully regenerate. And without its spines a hedgehog is defenceless against predators.
Even though this is a case from Romania, it could just as easily be from Switzerland. Please look out for small creatures the next time you burn garden waste or otherwise light an open fire!
SUST has been supporting the wildlife rehabilitation center "Luana's Dream" in Bucharest for many years. It is one of the few institutions in the country dedicated to the rescue, rearing and release of injured and orphaned wild animals.
