Orphan Wildlife @ Wildlife Rehabilitation Center “Luanas Dream”

A Center for Romanian wildLIFE in need

The SUST-Wildlife Rehabilitation Center "Luanas Dream" gives a second chance for Romanian wildlife in need. Injured and sick wild animals are nursed back to health or raised here after being rescued to be later reintroduced back into the wild.

Patients at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center are many different wild birds, but also deer, foxes, badgers, turtles and many other animals.

The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation has been supporting this valuable project for many years, on the one hand by financing enclosures and facilities, and on the other hand by covering monthly maintenance costs (food, wages, etc.).

Extraordinary rescue operation

December 2022

The fox has a dubious reputation in many places. It is considered a chicken thief and its appearance in inhabited areas is still associated with rabies in many countries. Accordingly there is great fear of these adaptable animals, which are attracted by the rich food supply to the cities and in the vicinity of people. In order to drive them away, it is not uncommon to resort to methods that are not very animal-friendly.
This fox had nested in a power plant in Bucharest, Romania. Since a power plant is an extremely unsuitable and possibly even life-threatening habitat for a fox, the team of our partner organization "Luanas Dream" decided to capture and relocate it. After a week the cunning animal finally went into the live trap.
Vaccinated against rabies and treated against parasites, the young male was finally released in a less populated area.
SUST has been supporting "Luanas Dream" for many years. The Wildlife Rehabiliation Center's mission is to nurse and raise injured and orphaned wild animals back to health and then release them back into the wild. It is one of the few organizations in Romania dedicated to the welfare of wild animals.
