After 4 years of having Humboldt Dash and Splash visit the Humboldt County Animal Shelter we have finally had one of our in-shelter dogs jump off of the dock. Young Apollo was so enthusiastic about playing the game that he was brave enough to jump off of the dock. If you are interested in meeting Apollo a link to his info will be posted in comments.
