Jerry Green Dog Rescue Nottingham

Jerry Green Dog Rescue Nottingham Centre – part of the community, and are there to help in any way they can.

Jerry Green Dog Rescue Nottingham History

Our founder, Jerry Green, means a lot to us. He does, but perhaps the biggest credit should go to Rusty, the spaniel we celebrate in our logo. A faithful and loving companion to Jerry Green, in 1961 Rusty’s passing inspired his owner to set up a charity to rescue and rehome stray and unwanted dogs.

Jerry Green believed that far too many dogs were being put to sleep unnecessarily, a belief that has driven the charity’s activities since the creation of its first rescue centre in Broughton, North Lincolnshire.

His legacy continued when founding Trustee Peggy Dornom, Jerry Green’s friend and business partner, took over in 1968. She remained involved with the charity until her death in 2015, by which time a number of other Jerry Green centres had sprung up across the country.

Since consolidating our resources in 2012, we now have four rescue centres and community hubs – Jerry Green Dog Rescue Nottingham Centre North and South Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire Community Support Hub. For more than 55 years since Jerry Green founded the charity back in 1961, we have been transforming the lives of abandoned and unwanted dogs by providing shelter and finding them loving homes.

The caring, ‘dog-centric’ ethos at Jerry Green Dog Rescue means we continue to put dogs at the heart of everything we do. There are too few homes for too many dogs, so we’re always looking at ways to ensure our dogs have the best quality of life while they are staying with us and we try to find their perfect match.

We are proud that we continue to be pioneering in dog welfare and rehoming. Our groundbreaking Meet&Match® approach to rehoming was first introduced in 2004. Each families who adopts a Jerry Green dog receives dedicated aftercare, training and support – once a Jerry Green dog, always a Jerry Green Dog – we are always there to help.

Jerry Green Dog Rescue Nottingham Centre

At Jerry Green Dog Rescue Nottingham Centre, we’re deeply embedded within the community, striving to offer assistance wherever it’s needed. Led by our inspirational Centre Manager, Amanda Shaw, and her wonderful team, we extend support to dog owners facing various challenges. 

From providing essential resources like food partnerships, to offering equipment, we aim to address the diverse needs of our community directly from our Centre. Additionally we take great pride in supporting other local charitable organisations, including homelessness support centres, community social hubs and wildlife sanctuaries.  

Our Nottinghamshire centre was first opened in 1988 as one of our smallest centres. In 2015 our Nottinghamshire centre re-build project was completed and we launched our flagship centre.

Furthermore, our Nottinghamshire team are committed to nurturing and supporting the next generation of animal welfare carers, by offering valuable work placements to students from all walks of life.

By sharing our expertise and passion, we hope to inspire these young adults to pursue careers in animal welfare, equipped with invaluable skills gained from their time with our experienced team.

In addition to these initiatives, our Nottinghamshire Centre offers a range of essential services including: 

• • Dog boarding kennels
  • Paddock hire (including agility equipment) 
  • Pre-loved dog toys, beds and walking equipment
  • Guidance and advice on dog welfare  

Our Nottinghamshire centre onsite shop is also a popular destination within the local community, where we offer preloved items at affordable prices to raise funds for our dogs in need. Additionally, we feature a selection of brand new items including a natural treat selection, ensuring that everyone can find something special while supporting our cause.
