Jerry Green Dog Rescue to open new charity shop in Fernwood

A charity is set to expand with the opening of a brand-new shop, supporting its work rescuing, caring for, and rehoming dogs.

Jerry Green Dog Rescue has announced it is to open a new charity shop in Fernwood, near Newark, with the official date to be confirmed soon.

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.

Jerry Green Dog Rescue has been a trusted name in animal welfare for more than 60 years, and its Fernwood location will be its third in Nottinghamshire — joining one in Retford which opened in 2023, and a soon-to-open premises in Forest Town — since it first established its roots in the county in 2015 with the rehoming centre in Blidworth.

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 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.”

The shop will offer a selection of quality pre-loved clothing, homeware, and unique finds — and in the lead-up to opening, the charity welcomes donations of quality pre-loved goods, including clothing, accessories, homeware, and bric-a-brac to Jerry Green Dog Rescue Nottinghamshire Centre, Warsop Lane, Mansfield, NG21 0PG.

Donations can be made Monday to Friday between 11am and 2pm, and the charity is also seeking volunteers to help run the new store.
