Our Story

Back in 1993 I picked up my first stray off the streets, a stray Schnauzer named Minnie. 1996 I gained my show up black lab, Jack. 2006 a shepherd, 2007 a Weimaraner; by then I was starting to see I pattern and something I was good at doing. With the help social media, in 2008 we pulled our first two pups. The following four years we spent mentoring other rescues and kept our paws grounded. We operated without a name, an eventually evolved into Greener Days Ahead Rescue in 2012 . We operated successfully for three more years, then we took the plunge with the help our supporters to become officially recognized as 501(c)3 rescue on May 12th, 2015. GDAR was born.

GDAR takes in homeless, abandoned and owner surrender animals as space permits. We take pride in caring for the animals and only have a limited number available at any one time. Every animal and the community is considered and ethical decisions are made to bring back to a healthy state, fully vet, spay or neuter, put on Heartworm prevention and microchipped before adoption.

We have a very small a volunteer team that provides around the clock care and the very best medical care possible. We rarely use foster care, because we do have in house certified animal trainer and our own facilities and the many challenges it creates on the overall work load. Because we are home-based, we do keep our location highly guarded until you have an approved application and set appointment. If you know our location, please help us by keeping it confidential for the safety of our people, animals and preventing a potential drop zone for unvetted dogs.

We often call our facility “The Doghouse.” We are in a rural setting, where the dogs have long runs for free play during the day, weather permitting, and inside heated and cooled housing at night to sleep. Because we limit our care size we often do not qualify for many of the grants or have much of a chance at the popularity contests many other organizations are eligible for. We rely strictly on adoption fees and donations from people like you! They are accepted via our website greenerdaysAR.rescuegroups.org or paypal [email protected]. If you would like to mail a check please send to Greener Days Ahead, PO BOX 151, Mount Vernon, AR 72111. Credit card donations can be made directly to our account at the vet clinic by calling Vilonia Animal Clinic at 501-796-8400 and having it applied to Greener Days Ahead.
