Sarah Fisher, who was in a relationship with actor Anthony Head, was an animal rights activist and an ambassador for Battersea Cats and Dogs Home.
Animal rights activist Sarah Fisher has died at the age of 61. Tributes have been paid to the ambassador for Battersea Cats and Dogs Home with her daughters saying she died “with very little warning” in a heart-breaking statement.
Sarah lived with her partner, Ted Lasso star Anthony Head, and their daughters, actresses Emily and Daisy. In a touching post on social media, Emily and Daisy paid tribute to their “extraordinary” mum and “the legacy she is leaving behind”, reports the Mirror.
They said: “It is immensely shocking to us all, and came with very little warning. No words could ever express all that she encompassed, or begin to describe the crater her absence has left.
“We know how profoundly she has impacted the lives of so many, and we couldn’t be more proud of the legacy she is leaving behind. We only wish she’d had more time to share her knowledge and brilliance with us, and the world. Our grief knows no bounds, nor did the reaches of her incredibly unique and irreplaceable spirit.”
Among those paying their respects were Battersea Cats and Dogs Home in London. Sarah had worked with them over the years and the organisation shared some touching words on Thursday.
In a statement, they said: “We’re truly sorry to lose our beloved friend and ambassador Sarah Fisher and send our deepest sympathies to Sarah’s partner Anthony, her daughters, and her family and friends.
“Sarah, alongside her partner Anthony Head, gave so much to our charity, fostering dogs, using her canine behaviour expertise to train our staff and volunteers, and contributing in so many ways to make a real difference in animal welfare.
“She will be dearly missed by all of us at Battersea.”
Founder of Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary in Somerset, Pauline Leeson, also shared a touching message. Sarah had been patron of the organisation.
Pauline said: “Sarah was an advocate for all animals and was always a voice for those dear souls who have no voice. She will be a huge loss to the animal kingdom she worked so tirelessly for, helping so very many animals of all species to find their way to cope and be happy in this changing world.
“We at Holly Hedge are so proud to have known Sarah. Her memory will live on in all the good work and positive change she has made to their lives. Our hearts go out to Anthony, Emily, Daisy and family.”
No further details of Sarah’s death have been shared at this time.
Emily, 37, is best known as playing Carli in The Inbetweeners. Daisy, 34, meanwhile, has starred in Guilt, Harlots and The Syndicate.
