Rise Above Animal Rescue

Animal rescue in Pasadena, MD

In 2018, we became an official nonprofit animal rescue. Our rescue efforts have been in place for many years prior to 2018, with our goal always being the welfare of animals.

We focus on animals that need the most help - those that are sick, injured, elderly, feral, or need extensive medical care.
