The Sweet Onion Animal Protection Society is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose goal is to promote animal welfare through education, care, and placement of stray or unwanted animals. Additionally, SOAPS advocates sterilization as a means of pet population control, offers community awareness of pet health and safety issues, and strives to encourage humane care of all animals in Toombs County and surrounding counties. For nearly 30 years animal advocates have provided financial and volunteer support in the Toombs county area. The Sweet Onion Animal Protection Society was originally known as the Vidalia Animal Protection Society, Incorporated, which was established in August 1987 by a group of individuals concerned with the welfare of homeless animals in the Vidalia area. This group was an outgrowth of work started in the mid-seventies by the Vidalia Optimist Club when they built the animal shelter building currently used by the city of Vidalia. SOAPS and its members have added the cattery to the city shelter, replaced air conditioning in the buildings, provided for building repairs, maintenance, and painting of the exterior, donated food, and covered the cost of adoption days. SOAPS also helps in surrounding counties when asked.
