An unleashing is a little different from your typical ribbon cutting. The building isn\u2019t yet finished and ready to open to the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is not every day that the SPCA can address a large room of supporters to say thank you,\u201d says Elizabeth Murphy, CEO of the Nova Scotia SPCA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0
The building, named after supporters Sharon and the Hon. Elmer MacKay, is 9,148 square feet and will house a shelter, Tartan Tails Veterinary Hospital for shelter animals and the public, and a social enterprise thrift store.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe new facility offers significant improvements and accessibility over our Pictou shelter,\u201d says Heather Woodin, Chief of Animal Operations with the Nova Scotia SPCA. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next few weeks, the SPCA will start to move in staff and animals, set up the thrift store and Tartan Tails Veterinary Hospital<\/a>, and will open to the public in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
