About this shelter

Small Angels Rescue Inc. in Monrovia, MD

Small Angels Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill organization based in Frederick County, Maryland. We are an all-volunteer group committed to rescuing and rehoming gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and rats. Founded in the fall of 2003, Small Angels has successfully rescued over 4,500 small animals. Although we do not operate a physical shelter, we utilize a network of foster homes to care for the animals until they can be placed in permanent homes. We believe that these small animals deserve an excellent quality of life, which includes proper habitat, nutrition, enrichment, companionship, and veterinary care. Our mission also includes educating the public about the needs and characteristics of these animals, and we provide comprehensive care sheets to help raise awareness.
