Why spay your dog⁉️

Pyometra is a common and FATAL disease that exclusively affects female dogs that have not been spayed.

*Two dogs that we have spayed recently through YOUR DONATIONS have been found to be in early stages of pyometra. YOU saved them. *

💜 WE can save more! 💜

From our client Heather Marie.

*UPDATE*
Mischief made it through surgery!!!
She had pyometra as well as 2 dead kittens in her belly.
I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to the Atlantic County SPCA Veterinary Clinic
If it wasn't for them, I would have for sure lost her by next week.They saved my babies life for free, they saw how dire the situation was & I wouldn't have been able to financially afford a 3,000-6,000 procedure that all other vets were trying to charge. These ladies work from the heart & for EVERY fur (or furless) baby that comes through their door. I am truly touched by the amount of compassion & patience these women have, I've been going to them for a few years now & wouldn't have it any other way

Mischief & I thank you 🥹❤️

Thank you. Heather. 🐾🙏🏻🐾

Obituary for our dear friend. 🙏🏻

Dr Andrew Jeffrey Lischin, 68, of West Atlantic City, NJ and Bradenton, FL passed away peacefully surrounded by love on 07 May, 2024.

Born in Margate, NJ to Richard and Florence (Levine) Lischin, he was the older brother to his sister, Susan. Andrew was raised in a close-knit family and learned early on that you should always strive to do your best and work hard, with

honesty and integrity.

He was an excellent student, attending Margate schools and graduating with highest honors from Atlantic City High School, Class of 1974. At an early age, he discovered a love for animals and his desire to become a veterinarian never

wavered. He attended and excelled at Cook College, Rutgers University and went on to attend Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine obtaining his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1982.

After graduating, he returned to the Atlantic City area where he successfully established and operated three thriving veterinary clinics. Andrew loved “all creatures great and small” and worked tirelessly to ensure the well-being of all

animals, providing excellent care and kindness to all pets and their owners

He was the first veterinarian to implement the very successful charitable program “Pet Pictures with Santa” and his dad Richard played an excellent Santa. Andrew’s commitment to family was very important to him and he took great

care to ensure the happiness and well-being of his father Richard and his mother Florence throughout their lives. He was the trusted big brother to his sister Susan

and loving uncle to his nephew, Kevin. Andrew met Katie Gifford later in his life and they enjoyed many happy times together, along with her daughters, Amanda and Elizabeth. A devoted cat lover, Andrew had many feline friends keeping him company throughout his life.

Andrew had a great love of Florida and his time spent in Bradenton, FL with his fiancé Katie and his feline companion Mr. Blackie brought him great joy. Floating in the warm waters of the Gulf or watching a sunset, he was in his happy place.

Andrew had a passion for experiences and enjoyed many interests. His life-long love of running began in high school with cross country, and he went on to run countless races, including marathons in NY, Phila, and AC. He was an avid sports fan of all the Philly teams and was there to cheer on the victorious Phillies during the 2008 World Series and to see the heartbreaking defeat of the 2023 Eagles. He was an active member of the Beth Israel Synagogue, the Purdue Veterinary

Alumni Assn, the Republican Club, many veterinary associations, and the Astronomy Club. One of his most awe-inspiring experiences was witnessing the

total eclipse of the sun. With his wide knowledge and excellent memory, one of his favorite past times with his friends was Quizzo nights at the Vagabond AC and

at Villian and Saint, Ocean Casino Resort, where his team was often victorious.

After retiring, Andrew was kept busy pursuing his passions and volunteering his time and expertise at many veterinary clinics and shelters, and to helping family and friends with their pet concerns. He was never too busy to share his

knowledge and help a pet. His great wit, intelligence, kindness, courageous spirit and passion for life will be

sorely missed. It is said “They are never gone as long as they are remembered”. His absence creates a tremendous emptiness in our hearts, and he will forever be

remembered with unending love.

Andrew is predeceased by his parents, Richard and Florence (Levine) Lischin. He is survived by his sister Susan (Peter) DePhillips; his nephew, Kevin DePhillips; his fiancé, Katie Gifford and her daughters Amanda (Ben) Cook and Elizabeth Gifford; his aunt and uncle Loretta and Carl Heiden, aunts Eleanor Levine and Nira Levine; and several cousins and many dear friends whom he considered family.

A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 at 10:00 am at Beth Israel Synagogue, 2501 Shore Rd, Northfield, NJ. Interment will follow in Beth Kehillah Cemetery, Egg Harbor Township.

Donations may be made in lieu of flowers to the Atlantic County SPCA, PO Box 205, Somers Point, NJ 08244 or to the pet charity of your choice.

Today the Atlantic County SPCA Veterinary Clinic lost 😢 a very loyal friend and supporter, Dr Andrew Lischen. Drew succumbed last night to a brain tumor. Drew was always a big supporter of the SPCA. He was always willing to help us when we were shorthanded. He will be truly missed. RIP 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Good info to know-

We would like to remind everyone that mother raccoons come out during the day to eat and drink when their babies are getting older because they require more milk and the mother has to get nourishment in order to produce the milk. Please be kind and do not over react when you see a raccoon doing normal things in the daytime. There is nothing wrong with helping her by putting food out, but it must be away from your house and wildlife cannot think that you are connected to the food.

Good morning🌞, we were thinking 🤔 about having a microchip clinic 🏥. No appointment necessary. The cost would be $20.00 and no annual fee. With all the missing and loose dogs 🐕🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🐈 and cats in the area this would be their ticket 🎟️ home 🏘️. All ACO and your local police 🚔 departments all have chip 🔎 scanners so they could be returned 🙏🏻 sooner. If you don’t have a pet to chip the Atlantic County Animal Shelter is FULL. Go get yourself a pet that need you and who knows they may be what YOU need too.

Let us know what you think, more info to follow.
