Help animals

Work assignements in animal shelters

When animal shelters need help, the SUST is there for them.

While animal shelters and graveyards fight daily for their existence and take care of the complex care of their orphans, it can happen that important points are neglected in their animal shelter everyday life.

Since 2000, the animal shelter support provided by the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation has been helping where animal shelters reach their limits: It is part of the daily work of the SUST experts to carry out days of work in animal shelters in which SUST teams tackle long overdue tasks, modify or supplement animal shelter facilities, reorganise animal shelter procedures, coordinate craftsmen's work (and bear their costs) and deliver animal feed, animal shelter utensils and building materials to animal shelters throughout Switzerland and abroad.

Here, animal welfare workers use their free time, expertise and strength to help homeless animals.

Start of the season!

April 2023

On 29.4.2023 was the starting signal for the SUST animal shelter work days!
For this purpose, the hardworking SUST animal welfare workers were in the beautiful Bünztal in the canton of Aargau, at the rescue station New Graceland.
The rescue center mainly takes in greyhounds from Spain, but also cares for other dogs that have been abandoned in Spain, often severely mistreated and/or abused. The animals receive medical care at the sanctuary, are socialized and placed in good homes.
So many animals have been given a new chance thanks to New Graceland in the last 20 years, now some renovations are urgently needed.
For example, the dog bathing area has been concreted over, as it is no longer quite watertight. In addition, a new wooden dog ramp was built, skip guards were installed and some high-pressure cleaner magic was used over the area.
