(c) Subject to ORS 419B.121 or 419B.180, place the child in shelter care or detention. The child shall be placed in shelter care rather than detention, unless the person has probable cause to believe that the court will be able to detain the child under ORS 419B.121; or

(d) Pursuant to order of the court made after the filing of a petition, hold, retain or place the child in shelter care subject to further order.
