Today is critical, last day in quarantine

Diablo is still alive today (October 31, 2026), as his mandatory 10-day rabies observation hold by Miami-Dade Animal Services concludes today, following the October 21 attack.

• The Timeline: The attack occurred on October 21, 2026, and Diablo was taken into county custody on October 22, 2026.

• The Hold: Under Florida and county health protocols, the dog must be kept alive for a 10-day quarantine period to monitor for rabies symptoms, which ends today, October 31, 2026.

• Current Status: Because his owner voluntarily surrendered him, he faces scheduled euthanasia once the quarantine window closes, though online advocacy efforts like a Change.org Petition to Save Diablo have been circulating to try to spare his life.
