Dodge for Paws raises $500 for Butler County Humane Society
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. (Nov. 8, 2014) 1 p.m.-- Rock PRoductions, Slippery Rock University's student-run public relations firm, hosted its annual Dodge for Paws event Saturday at the ARC

Dodge for Paws is a dodge ball tournament that gives Slippery Rock students the opportunity to participate in a competitive activity while raising money for and awareness of a local organization benefiting a shelter for stray cats and dogs.
Dodge for Paws also serves as an opportunity for undergraduate Rock PRoductions members to engage in real life PR tasks that include publication design work and distribution, promoting through social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter and coordinating with local businesses and organizations to gain support.

Executive Director Michele Allen speaks about the mission and goals of the Butler County Humane Society.
"Our mission here at the Butler County Humane Society is to provide a safe haven for the animals on their journey home," Executive Director Michele Allen of the BCHS said.
The BCHS provides opportunities for volunteering and donations. Through their marketing group, the organization also offers the organizing of collection drives for offices, churches or groups and friends.
The organization has been serving Butler County for over 100 years and is a no-kill shelter that allows all animals to live within the shelter until an appropriate home is found for them.
Additional services the BCHS offers through their organization are rabies clinics, spay and neuter services and micro-chipping.
