Local volunteer urges Colleton County to pursue animal‑welfare reforms and ordinances
Summary
Paul Sperry, speaking for a grassroots animal‑welfare group, urged Colleton County to work with municipalities on ordinances, shelter operations and volunteer support to improve care for animals; he described his group's municipal pilot work and offered help on local reforms.
Paul Sperry addressed council during public comment and identified himself as speaking on behalf of a state animal‑welfare group. He urged the county to work with municipalities and the shelter director on ordinances and reforms to improve care for animals and described his group's work with municipalities to tailor solutions locally rather than waiting for statewide change.
Sperry said the group's approach pairs municipal and county jurisdictions with volunteer support and tailored programming. "We're here to help the municipalities, counties... to help animal animal welfare," he said; he also noted the group's work in other municipalities and encouraged collaboration with county staff and the local shelter director.
