About
Fetch Thrift Shop was founded with the simple mission of helping to fund smaller local animal rescue organizations that were already doing exceptional work in our community.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Fetch Thrift Shop features a variety of high quality new gift items, vintage and gently used merchandise to provide funding to local rescues. Financial donations are tax deductible.
Our Mission
Fetch Thrift Shop is an upscale resale store that financially assists local animal welfare organizations to provide medical care and safety to secondhand animals who deserve to be loved and treated with dignity and respect.
How it Works
We happily accept clean, gently-used donations – clothing, home decor, books, toys, sporting goods, etc – and resell them to raise the funds needed for the rescues. Its a win-win!
Local residents or companies can clear out items they no longer need and the animals receive all the benefits. Not to mention the fun you will have shopping at Fetch and leaving with a bargain!
Tramp
Fetch Thrift Shop was started because of a small, brave dog named Tramp. He shared unconditional love with his owner/mother even after having a very rough start in life. He came from a small run down Mississippi Delta shelter with very low adoption rates. He was very vocal about the fact that he did not belong there and was ready to start a new adventurest life.
Tramp’s mom, Charissa Beavers, was lucky to find him there and only wished that she was able to help the many she had to leave behind.
Charissa worked in the corporate spa, retail and wellness field for more than 20 years. After Tramp passed, she knew it was time to make a change so she combined her passion for helping homeless animals and her love of finding bargains into a retail concept.
Her goal was to create a community-focused resale store that would raise money to help animal rescue groups continue to save more lives, while also educating about adopting rescues and shelters animals.
Tramps legacy continues to inspire her to help homeless pets.
Tramp, the inspiration for Fetch Thrift Shop.
Donations
All net proceeds from Fetch Thrift Shop directly help local rescues to find “forever homes”, provide medical care, food, supplies and support local spay and neuter programs.
Local communities seem to share a deep desire to help these animals and rescues but during these difficult financial times it’s hard for many animal lovers to donate money.
Your donations and support of the shop are critical in our continued efforts to save animals right here in our own community.
