I am so grateful to have had the privilege to call Dr. Fi*****io a colleague, mentor and friend🌻

It is with great sadness that the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announces the passing of its President Emeritus, Ernest J. Fi*****io on October 26th due to complications arising from COVID-19. Dr. Fi*****io served as the 10th President and General Agent of the Rhode Island SPCA for 18 years, retiring in March of 2019.

A tireless and dedicated crusader for animal welfare, Dr. Fi*****io was known and respected for his tireless advocacy on behalf of creatures great and small. He was one of the first veterinarians in the State of Rhode Island with a dedicated equine practice and he owned and operated New England Horse Care Center for 35 years prior to assuming leadership of the Rhode Island SPCA.

While at the Rhode Island SPCA, he successfully advocated for significant enhancements to Rhode Island’s animal welfare laws, expanded the Society’s volunteer base and instituted major improvements to the Society’s shelter and facilities, all while continuing to be directly connected with the diverse constituencies served by the Society.

Dr. Fi*****io was the founder of the Marvin Fund, named after the disabled black Labrador Retriever he adopted who became a celebrity in his own right. The Marvin Fund provides direct financial assistance for necessary veterinary care to low income pet owners and has assisted thousands of family pets since its inception in 2010.

Dr. Fi*****io was named the Veterinarian of the year by the Rhode Island Veterinary Medical Society in 2019. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him, particularly those who worked with him at the Society.

Unfortunately, the funeral service will be private due to COVID-19. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Dr. Fi*****io to the Marvin Fund at https://rispca.com/services/marvin/.

The AVMA urges all authorities to designate veterinary practices as essential businesses, and also ensure their ability to obtain necessary medical supplies.
