“In the most awful circumstances, last night, Fiona Scourfield, aka Suzi Wales, was killed.
“To say the rescue is devastated would be a massive understatement. Suzi was one of our longest standing members who supported the rescue wholeheartedly.
“Her UK-GSR dog Bruno was her absolute world.
“Suzi worked tirelessly to make the world a better place for animals & her loss is a huge loss not only to us but to animals worldwide.
