SQ Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit, “no-kill” animal rescue group (primarily dogs) that has been rescuing dogs for over 20 years. Mary Escue and her husband Bill started the small rescue in Northeast Columbia, rescuing dogs that were found on the streets that other rescues would not take in and also rescuing dogs from abusive situations. They took in dogs that needed medical care as well, making sure the dogs were properly vetted and in some cases, treated for heartworms or other serious medical conditions such as broken bones and eye diseases. Today we continue that tradition but we also pull dogs that are in danger of being euthanized from shelters throughout the state.
SQ Rescue, Inc. in conjunction with PetSmart Charities, has adopt-a-pet days three times a month at PetSmart stores in Columbia. We screen applicants and find forever homes for our rescues. We operate solely on donations and volunteers, with no paid staff whatsoever. Many of our dogs are in foster care – which provides them the opportunity to be house-broken, leash-trained, and socialized with other dogs. They are then ready for adoption, once the best home for them is found. Volunteers and donations are always needed and appreciated.
Run errands, take dogs from the kennel to PetSmart on adoption days, walk dogs during adoption day, etc. It would be great if you have a car, station wagon or SUV that is big enough for a crate. Email us at info@screscueinc.org
There are many more puppies and adult dogs needing our help. Without foster homes and loving people to care for these dogs, we have to turn away many pets that need help. We supply food and vet care, so you just need to supply a temporary, warm, loving, safe haven for our furry friends. If you can't foster a dog, maybe you can sponsor one, or make a one time donation.
We are in desperate need of any new or used dog kennels, blankets, and quilts. We can give you a tax receipt for your donation. Email us at info@sqrescueinc.org. Thank you so much for your generosity.

Adopting a friend
The adoption fee for most dogs is $150 to $200, but can vary according to the dog. This fee includes micro-chipping, spaying or neutering, veterinarian care and vaccinations up until adoption (unless otherwise noted). You may fill out an on-line application at sqrescueinc.org.
