AVRAL is a grassroots, nonpartisan political action committee (PAC) that works to influence legislation and support the passage of policies favorable to the welfare of companion animals. T-Town PAWS joins AVRAL in the belief that the current approach to animal welfare in Alabama is inefficient, too costly for taxpayers, and does little to address pressing animal welfare issues in this state.
 
So, how can YOU help?
 
States Dr. Rhonda Parker, State Chair, AVRAL, "Right now, we need MEMBERS more than anything. We need strong representation in every voting district in Alabama. If we are to help animals in Alabama, getting political is the ONLY way to do it. Simply caring about animals isn’t enough. We have to work to get politicians and animal-friendly legislation in place. We can only do that by building voting blocs. So, spread the word."
 
Please help us distribute this flyer far and wide.  AVRAL needs you. Alabama’s animals need you.
