Who We Are
HDAC is a coalition of people from many different backgrounds. We want to change the idea which exists - saving a few animals and euthanizing the rest - we want to save them all!
Our mission is to bring the NO KILL EQUATION to San Bernardino County one shelter at a time.
​
The NO KILL EQUATION is a simple formula providing community education about the importance of vaccinating your pets and electronically chipping your pets, while bringing free or affordable spay & neuter clinics to rural and low-income areas. By doing this, we are minimizing the amount of animals that would end up in local shelters.
​
The High Desert Animal Coalition will work hand-in-hand with our shelters and help network our foster groups and animal sanctuaries.

2024
2024 A Year of Change . . .
​
HDAC stopped fostering and rescuing animals simply due to the lack of fosters. Being a foster is a huge commitment and life changes and sometimes the fosters have life changing events which prevent them from the commitment.
​
HDAC currently only contributes towards the spay/neuter of animals and without fosters there aren't any adoption events.
​
HDAC is not certain if things will change and if they do the website will be updated.

The NO KILL EQUATION is a simple formula of 11 common-sense steps that have proven to bring our shelters into the 21st century.
Our Mission
We promise to speak for those who have no voice, we seek transparency and cooperation from our city and county shelters. We are allies to our local law enforcement and will work to ensure, those who commit crimes against animals, are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

2017
High Desert Animal Coalition (HDAC) was officially registered as a non-profit in 2017 by retired fire-fighter Diley Greiser. Diley noticed the animals in her San Bernardino and High Desert community needed help and vowed to make a change. She was able to gather a group of volunteers and partners to help those without a voice.
