The Joe Black Effort has been a quietly operating community cause for several years and recently became known in the area as the safe (no kill) place to call about animal issues. Now seeking the community’s support, the group wants to continue to get animals off of the streets, out of abusive situation and place them in loving homes.Rene’s Hair Company at Maggies’ Landing will be playing host to dogs of all shapes, sizes and colors this Saturday as they hold a benefit called Rides and Rovers, a car and dog wash. This is the first fundraiser the group has held and all money collected will be deposited into the Joe Black account, which will continue to help fund the rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals in need.
