From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The family of a late San Francisco socialite gave $13 million to the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The gift will be used to help build a state-of-the-art animal hospital.
The gift from the estate of Leanne B. Roberts is the largest in the San Francisco SPCA’s history. The 60,000-square-foot center will be named after Roberts, who died two years ago.
The $32-million hospital will have a spay and neuter clinic, diagnostic imaging and an ambulance service. It is scheduled to open in 2007.
