An animal-therapy pool, a full-service clinic and more space for dogs to run around.
These are among the additional features the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) will house at its new Sungei Tengah premises when it moves there by the end of next year.
The 7,766 sq m site will be more than three times the size of its current location in Mount Vernon, which is approximately 2,200 sq m.
In an e-mail interview yesterday with My Paper, SPCA executive director Corinne Fong said that there are plans for a full-service clinic, which may be undertaken by the shelter's current private-practice vet.
She explained that an expansion of its current facility had been "out of the question", because it is surrounded by land earmarked for residential development, with heavy construction already underway.
The 66-year-old charity is ramping up its fund-raising efforts to raise the $5.6 million needed to construct its new facility. Among its efforts are the Buy A Brick programme and a gala dinner to be held on Sept 28.
Members of the public can visit www.sggives.org/spca to donate to the SPCA's Buy A Brick programme.
