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.

SUST social work for animals in Schaffhausen

April 2023

A special commitment is the SUST social work for animals:
Many people affected by poverty have an animal by their side as their only partner, but can hardly afford the upkeep or even veterinary care for their four-legged friend. This is a Swiss problem that hardly anyone talks about: untreated diseases, lack of parasite treatments and also unwanted offspring (due to lack of finances for neutering) are the sad consequences and affect the lives of both animal and pet owner. Many health problems could be solved in their early stages if these people had a contact person for the problems of their animals; however, often they and their animals do not get access to veterinary practices because they lack the financial means or the people are unwelcome as addicts. The result of this is: the animals suffer in silence for months or years until they eventually often have to be put down.
The Susy Utzinger Stiftung für Tierschutz cooperates with alley works, animal boards, social welfare offices and integration projects throughout Switzerland and supports these animal owners on various levels:
- Feed deliveries: SUST delivers animal feed to its partners for free distribution to pet owners affected by poverty.
- Veterinary care: SUST veterinarians are regularly at various locations in Switzerland. These missions provide first aid and treat, vaccinate, deworm animals.
- Neutering: SUST covers the costs for dog and cat neuterings at its partner veterinarians.
- Material donations: SUST supplies animal utensils to its partners in Switzerland so that these materials can be given free of charge to marginal animal owners.
- Education and prevention: With its well-founded expertise, the SUST (or the SUST veterinary team on the occasion of consultation hours) educates animal owners by means of brochures or in personal conversations about topics relevant to animal protection and thus helps to avoid dangerous situations for the animals.
