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.).

Injured swan in Luanas Dream

January 2023

The last patient in 2022 of our partner project "Luanas Dream" in Romania was an injured swan. Shortly before the end of the year, a passerby reported the sighting of a swan with unnatural wing posture and traces of blood on its body. The team that immediately went out succeeded in catching the animal and bringing it to the wildlife clinic. The X-ray revealed a double fracture in the upper part of the wing. After extensive consultation, it was decided to operate on the large bird, allowing it to continue living.
The operation, which lasted several hours, was successful and the swan has a good chance of making a full recovery. Recovered animals will of course be released back at their capture site, provided they are not in acute danger there.
"Luanas Dream" is one of the few institutions in Romania that is committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of wild animals. SUST has supported and accompanied this valuable project for many years.
