SUST-OAH Galati

Shelter and veterinary care for stray animals in Galati, Romania

The SUST orphan animal hospital (OAH) Galati gives stray animals in need a second chance: Sick and injured strays are treated here free of charge and professionally, operated and nursed back to health. In addition to emergency cases, castrations are also carried out on a daily basis: Thus, the overpopulation of street animals in this region is limited in an animal-friendly and sustainable way.

An estimated 10,000 - 12,000 dogs and countless cats live on the streets in the huge Romanian industrial city of Galati. Every day many of them are abandoned, injured, have accidents and/or fall ill - most of them die miserably without help. Nobody cares about these animals. (Passers-by usually do not take such animals in distress to the vet for fear of the high costs) The remaining animals multiply uncontrollably and provide for numerous, unfortunately unwanted offspring.

In the orphan animal hospitals of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation, street animals find refuge and help! Accidentally injured and sick animals receive veterinary care here, and spay and neutering for dogs and cats are also carried out on an ongoing basis. The Susy Utzinger Foundation organizes and finances the Orphan Animal Hospital in Galati and covers the veterinary costs, finances medicines, operations, therapies and care.
In addition to the free spay programm and treatments of street animals, SUST is also intensively committed to a sustainable solution of the animal welfare problems on site on other levels: Education and training of professionals, optimization of animal shelters, information and education of the population and promotion of the placement of homeless animals directly in the country.

Surviving animals from Borodyanka, Ukraine

June 2022

The war in Ukraine leads to situations for which it is impossible to prepare properly.  It is also enormously difficult to verify information and to secure facts. But there is a point when we no longer check backgrounds, but simply act. That is, when it is no longer important why an animal suffers - but important THAT it no longer suffers.

As in this case, from the municipal shelter in Borodyanka (UA), where 500 dogs were left alone and locked up without food and water.

Only 230 survived. 9 of them, after intensive care were finally in condition to be transported, are now with us at the SUST shelter in Galati, Romania. Their history is not an easy one to digest, nor do we know for sure how the story went in detail.

We are only sure that the films and pictures sent to us are almost unbearably tragic and so sad that we ask you not to watch them if pictures of dead animals and animal misery can be stressful, disturbing or retraumatizing for you.

The facts and information we have on this case can be found here:

 
We will keep you up to date how you can support the 9 surviving animals on our facebook page.
