SUST Orphan Animal Hospitals

SUST Orphan Animal Hospitals


In many countries countless abandoned animals live on the streets. Many of these dogs and cats have been abandoned or born as strays. Life on the streets is dangerous and full of privation. Injured and sick animals usually have no chance to survive and usually die in agony and alone on the streets. Often in such cases there is no lack of helpfulness of people who love animals, but of their financial means to have street animals treated by a veterinarian.
 
The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation set up the SUST Animal Orphan Hospitals to ensure that these animals also receive help in need.
 
At present, there is one of these institutions in each of the following countries
 
- Galati, Romania
- Bucharest, Romania
- Moreni, Romania
- Hurghada, Egypt
- Bello Horizons, Peru
- Beirut, Lebanon
 
Since their opening, animals that have been injured or sick have been brought daily to the SUST Animal Orphan Hospitals, where they are professionally treated and cared for. If the animals are healthy and strong enough to survive on the streets after their recovery, they are released back into their territory. If possible, animals with special needs will be accommodated in animal shelters. Fortunately, new places for patients can be continuously found.
 
The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation finances the veterinary costs, clinic equipment, medicines, operations, therapies, food and care in the animal orphanage hospitals. The SUST often also finances the construction of the corresponding clinic.
 
The activities of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation are financed exclusively by donations and legacies (no public support).

Successful release operation:

August 2024

At our animal orphan hospital in Bello Horizonte (PE), there was a moving release operation: 42 Terekay river turtles, confiscated from a black market, were finally able to return to nature. These endangered aquatic turtles had been cruelly hidden in large buckets filled with duck blood to conceal them from inspectors. Fortunately, this brutal plan failed, and the turtles came to us instead of being sold as pets or exported.

After an intensive quarantine period and careful antiparasitic treatment, our team at the OAH Peru was able to release the turtles into a nearby river.

Your donations make this professional care possible and give wildlife in need a second chance!
