Greener Days Ahead Rescue

Greener Days Ahead Rescue GDAR is a 501c3 serving dogs of all sizes, weaned kittens, cats and other animals on a case by case bases. We are no kill.

After rescuing my first dog, a Schnauzer named Mini, in 1996 from ditch in Jacksonville, then mentoring other rescues for nearly 10 years, serving on board of directors and various volunteer positions, I kept my feet grounded to the very principals of quality care and gold standards learned from various sources. GDAR became an official 501(c)3 rescue on May 12th, 2015. GDAR takes in homeless, aban

doned and owner surrender animals as space permits. We take pride in caring for our animals. They are rehabilitated, fully vetted, spayed or neutered, put on Heartworm prevention and microchipped before adoption. We rely strictly on donations from the public and accept them in several ways, on our website greenerdaysar.rescuegroups.org where you will also see our wish lists links, available dogs and more information about us. You can also quickly set a monthly donation via Paypal at [email protected] or use a credit card over the phone to our veterinarian clinic at 501-796-8400. If you would like to mail a check please send it to GDAR, PO BOX 151, Mount Vernon, Arkansas 72111. Email Jennifer McCullough at [email protected] if you're interested in volunteering or have other questions. Thanks for helping or considering a rescue dog!

Greener Days Ahead Rescue Marks 10 Years of Heart, Hope, and Hard Work for Animals in Need

During the month of May, Greener Days Ahead Rescue proudly celebrates 10 official years of unwavering dedication to animals in need — a decade shaped by love, sacrifice, and the tireless spirit of a small but mighty community. Founded in 2015 in the rural heart of Mount Vernon, Arkansas, Greener Days Ahead Rescue has weathered countless challenges — from a shortage of steady volunteers to the daily realities of rural rescue work — always keeping the animals at the center of everything they do.

Over the past decade, Greener Days Ahead Rescue has saved thousands of animals, providing a second chance to those who needed it most. Every life rescued, every healed heart, every new beginning was fueled not by abundance, but by the unshakeable determination of a team who refused to give up — even when the odds were against them.

"In a small rural town, sometimes it felt like we were moving mountains with our bare hands," said Jennifer McCullough, Founder of Greener Days Ahead Rescue. "But the animals — they were always worth it. Every struggle, every tear, every sleepless night was for them. And today, looking back over these 10 plus years, we know it was all for something bigger than ourselves: it was for hope."

Despite limited resources and a limited rotating crew of volunteers, Greener Days Ahead Rescue has built a legacy of compassion — creating programs such as our Dog and Cat Adoption program, providing low-cost spay/neuter, offering free pet food for struggling families, and inspiring a community to believe that even in the smallest places, big miracles can happen.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, Greener Days Ahead Rescue invites the public to "10-Year Anniversary Celebration and Adoption Fair" at one of our weekend Adoption Events during May! (More to come on exactly where soon.) Attendees will have the opportunity to meet adoptable animals, learn more about the rescue's journey, and become a part of shaping an even brighter future.

For more information, to support the mission, or to donate, please visit greenerdaysar.org or follow on social media.

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.
