About Us
| North Carolina Voters for Animal Welfare is a state-wide grass-roots organization dedicated to improving the care and treatment of all animals. Our objective is to advance their cause through education,legislation and public policy. We are dedicated to building and maintaining a politically knowledgeable and active network of animal advocates from every county in North Carolina. As animal issues are non-partisan,so is NCVAW. |  Photo by David Maslin |
