Retrieved on September 25, 2009〕 Actor/producer/animal welfare activist Leo Grillo is its national president and founder.〔http://www.deltarescue.org/about-us〕 As of 2007, the organization is funded solely on private donations of more than $5.5 million per year. ==History==
In 1979 while driving to Bakersfield, California, Grillo rescued a black doberman which had been abandoned in the Angeles National Forest. He named the dog ''Delta'', the first of thousands of animals Grillo made it his mission to save. A few months after rescuing his organization's namesake, Grillo discovered a few dozen more castaways during another outing to the forest. He brought them to his family home, which drew the ire of neighbors. Grillo purchased and renovated a condemned kennel for the animals and moved it to his present site in Acton. In 1989, Grillo set the first traps in a campaign to remove feral cats that for decades had lived on the beachfront rocks along the promenade outside Holiday Inn in Ventura. He received an endorsement of the move from the state Parks and Recreation Department, which controls San Buenaventura State Beach. Grillo said the two dozen cats he rescued were remnants of a sick and dying colony that at one time numbered about 100.〔“Beach Cats May Swap Low Tide for High Desert - Acton Activist Begins Trapping Feral Felines”. ''The Los Angeles Times'', August 17, 1989, by Steve Chawkins. Retrieved on October 6, 2009〕 D.E.L.T.A. Rescue is the only organization in America that rescues animals abandoned in the wilderness. It carries a care-for-life policy and does not put its animals up for adoption to assure their safety and longevity.
