Many have been working tirelessly to save this boy, Pirate, who has captured our hearts.

I just want to provide an update on Pirate since so many are concerned and have been asking about Pirate's status.
.
Pirate is currently at the Downey ACC and was under a 10 day bite hold, which is up.
.
A determination on whether he is "safe" or "unsafe" for placement has been rendered by the behaviour team.
.
(If the behaviour team assesses him as safe for placement, then only a partnered LA Rescue can pull him from the shelter). the behaviour team.
.
(If the behaviour team assesses him as safe for placement, then only a partnered LA Rescue can pull him from the shelter).
.
Here, the behaviour team has assessed Pirate as unsafe for placement. However, his euthanasia today has been delayed till tomorrow by the manager to review Pirate's case.
.
Nonetheless, the behaviour team's lead will have the final stamp tomorrow on Pirate's fate.
.
Like many of us, waiting for this final decision from this behaviour team's lead has been a hard and stressful one, because we are advocates for the voiceless and We want Pirate to be given a chance.
