Speaking ahead of the opening, Nigel Clough said:

“I’m absolutely delighted to be supporting Jerry Green Dog Rescue and to help celebrate the opening of their new Forest Town shop. Their work transforming the lives of dogs in need is truly inspiring, and it’s wonderful to see the local community rallying behind such a great cause. I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone on the day.”

The grand opening will be a true community celebration, featuring:

An appearance from Rusty, the charity’s much-loved dog mascot
Puppacinos for your four-legged friends
Free balloons for children and plenty of family-friendly fun, including a tombola
The opportunity to meet the Jerry Green team and hear heartwarming rescue stories first-hand

Visitors can browse a carefully curated selection of quality pre-loved clothing, homeware, and unique finds, knowing that every purchase directly supports Jerry Green Dog Rescue’s life-changing work.
