The Sweet Onion Animal Protection Society relies on the money generated through membership, donations, and fund raisers to underwrite its projects in the Toombs County area. The vast majority of funds is used to cover low cost sterilizations. Pet owners can submit an application for assistance in having their cat or dog spayed/neutered. SOAPS believes that voluntary sterilization of pets is the surest way to reduce the number of unwanted animals in our community, and thus eliminate the need for euthanasia. Although SOAPS is fortunate to have the support of both the Altamaha Animal Clinic and the Animal Medical Center for this project, it is still a costly undertaking.

Additionally, SOAPS uses donations to support its educational programs at Vidalia’s J.D. Dickerson and Robert Toombs Christian Academy, to supply dog houses for families that demonstrate a financial need, and to provide for medical care to indigent pet owners or abandoned animals. Donations are also used to help other pet agencies during times of crisis. In the past, SOAPS has given to help animals displaced by hurricanes, to care for pets whose owners have been deployed to Iraq, and to purchase protective gear for canine police.
