About SOAPS

Since reorganizing in 1999, SOAPS has rehomed over 19,500 stray and abandoned animals from Toombs County and the surrounding area. The organization has also provided numerous vouchers to pet owners to help with the cost of having their dog or cat sterilized.

The nonprofit organization is funded through volunteers and donations, as several individuals with a heart for animals work together to help every pet find a loving home. The annual “Spayghetti” Dinner is just one way that SOAPS gains funding for this effort.

For more information on SOAPS, visit the organization’s website, at www. sweetonionaps.org. Donations can also be mailed to SOAPS, P.O. Box 210 Vidalia, GA 30474.
