Rescue FAQs

Joe Black Effort is a rescue group serving Dekalb County,Tennessee. We rescue, rehibilitateand re-home stray, neglected, abused and animals left behind. We currently placeour animals in foster homes until adoption. Our plan is to open a "no kill" shelter for incoming animals, still utilize fosters, and an adoption center for new petowners. When we have Dekalb county under control, we will expand our efforts to the counties around us, one at a time.
