This is Brady one of our abused and rescued dogs!
SQ Rescue is located in Columbia SC. Mary and her husband, Bill Escue have decided to spend their retirement, and much of their income, on rescuing dogs off highways, abandoned in the woods and from abusive homes. Whether starving, burned, or abandoned because of births of new children, moves or simply other interests, Mary and Bill work tirelessly to find homes for these deserving dogs.
SQ Rescue is a charitable organization that has been in operation since 1980. This organization is operated almost single handedly by Mrs. Escue. She works personally one on one with each rescue, taking them for veterinarian care and arranging foster homes. We do not put any animals to sleep. If a surgery is needed, we follow through with our team of specialists here in Columbia to include an Ophthalmologist, Orthopedic, Dermatologist and Internist. This can put a great strain on a small rescue, but Mrs. Escue seems to always pull each needy animal through and find them a forever home.
Adopting a friend
The adoption fee for most dogs and puppies is $150 to $175. If you are interested in a pet, please email SQRescue@sc.rr.com or phone Mrs. Escue here in Columbia, SC at (803) 788-1889. Each pet is spayed or neutered, up to date on all veterinarian care (unless otherwise noted), which may include courtesy listings of pets that are in local "kill" shelters that we are trying to help place. These pets will be updated on all of their shots and spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

Each of our puppies and dogs have been brought up to date on all
shots, spayed or neutered, are heartworm negative, intestinal worm
negative and are deemed healthy and socialized. They come with a
complete set of veterinary records. A trial period is offered with
an approved application. We feel it is very important to do this
for you to determine if this pet will be congenial in your home
and with your pet situation. In our contract it is noted that if
it ANY time you can no longer care for the pet or other
circumstances arise, that the pet can and will be returned to us
for re-homing.
Thank you.
