Over 8,000 square feet of the Center are dedicated to the animal adoption department, while the additional 14,000 square feet are allocated for animal birth control and welfare work. The center also features the largest animal hospital in the New Territories, with the operating room and ward area occupying 16,500 square feet, expected to be rolled out in the second half of the year. The adoption center is already in full service and the dog foster care service is set to commence in late March. The education hub will feature four classrooms and include the first-ever immersive animal welfare classroom in Hong Kong. The location of the new center also helps the SPCA shorten its response time for animal rescue calls in the New Territories, where rescue demand is the greatest.
