A new home for Freckles!
Freckles family raised her from 6 weeks old until she was almost 10 years old; her family was having some personal problems and had to re-home her! They were devastated at having to give her up. They took very good care of Freckles with regular grooming and vet care, she was really loved! We had Freckles on the website for a couple of months, and no one wanted her. Well out of the blue we got an email from a very nice lady that lives in Statesville NC, she has her own pet sitting business (Pet Nana), she has 3 other cocker spaniels, one which looks just like Freckles and is 10 ½ years old. The other two cockers are 12 and 13. She filled out the application and got it right back to us and we approved her. Freckles has gone to her new home and she is quite comfortable sleeping in the bed with her new owner, and sitting close to her new room mate Sadie! This is truly a real Happy Tail!!!
Freckles slept with me last night, like she had been here forever. The picture I attached is Freckles on the left, Sadie on the right. Everyone getting along great!
How you can help???
There are many more puppies and adult dogs needing our help. Without foster homes and loving people to help us care for these dogs, we have to turn away many pets that we would love to help. Could you find it in your heart to be a foster parent? We supply food, medical care, and you just need to supply a temporary, warm loving safe haven for our furry friends. If you can't foster a dog, maybe you would like to sponsor one, or make a one time donation!
We are in desperate need of...
We are in need of any new or used dog kennels, blankets, and quilts. We can give you a tax receipt for your donation. Email Karen at SQRescue@sc.rr.comThank you so much for your generosity.
Who We Are
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.

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.
