Sue started SAFE Inc. in 2003 in Karratha. The organisation utilises the foster care model as the primary source of care for homeless, abandoned or abused dogs and cats, whilst finding an adoptive home and works with the many lonely and isolated people in regional areas who seek companionship. Sue is a volunteer who has never drawn a wage. As there is no RSPCA presence north of Geraldton, SAFE is the only animal rescue group in the far north regions. SAFE now have 11 branches throughout WA from Broome down to Perth and 32,000 animals have been saved and rehomed since it's inception.
