Progress — But We Need You to Keep Calling
SB361 has passed the Agriculture Committee.
Let’s finish what we started!
Now the bill moves to the House Rules Committee, which determines whether SB361 reaches the House floor for a vote.
SB361 would establish basic statewide standards for companion dogs kept outdoors, including:
• Proper shelter
• Adequate food and clean water
• Humane outdoor care standards
• Ending the use of heavy chains and harmful choke or pinch collars
Your calls made a difference in the Senate. They can make the difference again.

What to Say
Keep it short and respectful.
You may also let them know this issue matters to you as a voter, but please keep all communication respectful.
A short phone call is most effective, but emails help too.
Tell them you support SB361 and humane standards for dogs kept outdoors in Alabama.
Best Practices
When contacting legislators, include your name and address. Lawmakers want to hear from their constituents.
Use the “Find Your Representative” link below to identify who represents you.
WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOU CALL:
"Hi, my name is [your name], and I'm a constituent from [your city]. I'm calling to ask Representative [name] to support SB361. It passed the Alabama Senate almost unanimously. I'd like to ask the Representative to support it in the committee, and when it comes to the floor for a vote. IN YOUR OWN WORDS TELL THEM WHY - Thank you."
If you are calling them and do not live in their district, still call and email because they are on a committee that impacts you!
EMAIL SUBJECT LINE: Please Support SB361
Write an email and tell them why you expect their support in your own words. Be respectful. You may let them know if their vote will impact your future support but do so respectfully.

Just a few calls from constituents can influence how legislators vote — your voice truly matters.
