Jerry Green Dog Rescue expands with new shop in Fernwood Village, Newark

Jerry Green Dog Rescue is delighted to announce the opening of a new charity shop in Fernwood Village, Newark, creating even more ways for the community to help dogs in need.

Every purchase and donation will directly support the rescue, care and rehoming of vulnerable dogs across Nottinghamshire and beyond, offering them the love and second chances they deserve.

This exciting new venture marks an important step for the charity, which has been a trusted name in animal welfare for more than 60 years. Jerry Green Dog Rescue first established its roots in Nottinghamshire in 2015 when it opened its much-loved rehoming centre in Blidworth, providing care and second chances to countless dogs in need.

The Fernwood Village charity shop becomes the third Nottinghamshire shop to be secured by the charity, joining the Retford shop, which opened in May 2023, and the Forest Town shop, which is due to open in late November. The Fernwood location will be part of a growing network of seven Jerry Green Dog Rescue charity shops and will offer a fantastic selection of quality pre-loved clothing, homeware, and unique finds, with every purchase directly supporting Jerry Green Dog Rescue’s work to rehome and care for dogs.

Lynne McMahon, Head of Retail at Jerry Green Dog Rescue, said:

“We’re so excited to bring Jerry Green Dog Rescue to Fernwood Village. Since opening our Nottinghamshire rehoming centre in Nottinghamshire in 2015, we’ve seen first-hand the passion local people have for animal welfare. This shop is a way for the community to get involved, whether you donate, foster, adopt, or volunteer; you can transform lives, one wagging tail at a time.”

In the lead-up to opening, the charity is welcoming donations of quality pre-loved goods, including clothing, accessories, homeware, and bric-a-brac to help stock the shop. Until the new charity shop is officially opened, any donations can be taken to Jerry Green Dog Rescue Nottinghamshire Centre, Warsop Lane, Mansfield NG21 0PG, Monday to Friday between 11am and 2pm.

In addition, applications are now open for volunteers who can lend their time to help run the store. Every item donated and every hour volunteered becomes a lifeline for dogs in desperate need, offering them safety, love and a second chance at happiness. Together, you can support Jerry Green to rescue, heal and rehome dogs across Nottinghamshire and beyond.

The shop is set to open soon, with the official opening date to be confirmed. Jerry Green Dog Rescue will share further details in the coming weeks and invites the local community to join the celebrations.
