Yesterday evening a zoom call was held between the rescue home and Kate.
The outcome of the call was that Ace will be in limbo at The Village for at least another two weeks.
The reason for this delay being to allow his paw to heal after he managed to lick it.
Apparently this is something dogs that have little feeling in a paw are prone to do.
Here is the video I mentioned in the previous update plus a new one as well.
