McDonald said that Herbie should be 100 percent ready for adoption in about a week.  Just to be sure that he is over the flu, and isn’t a risk to anyone’s existing pets.  He will need to go to a family with patience.  It was clear when he was rescued that he had been kept confined to a very small area for a long period of time.  He is learning how to properly socialize, and sometimes there are small difficulties.  However, his time with his foster family has seen him really start to come out of his shell.  His foster mom says he is growing less timid and building confidence every day.
