PAST EVENTS


The SOAPS 3rd Annual Spay-ghetti Dinner and Silent Auction was a great success. Prior to the event we circulated 1000 hand outs advertising the dinner and explaining the importance of spay/neuter. We sold nearly 400 tickets and had many of our local politicians, law enforcement, news media, and our own local "Pilots and Paws" pilot as our "Celebrity Servers".



Several high school students came to complete their community service hours by filling plates, refreshing tea, and maintaining the clean tables.

Entertainment was provided by "Sam's Drive In Band", and we had the special delight of hosting children's author, Susan Meddaugh along with "Martha" from the PBS Series, "Martha Speaks".

We had many wonderful items in our silent auction.

Overall, we made nearly $8,000.00 to be used for future spay/neuter vouchers. A very Special Thank You to our Corporate Sponsors, Chicken of the Sea, US Pet Nutrition, Lark Builders, Chatters, McLain Farms, Herndon Farms, Buster and Elaine Akins, Stephens Trucking, and Brown Implement.

Pet of the Month: Muffin

This is Muffin. Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler)/Labrador Retriever Mix:
An adoptable dog in Vidalia, GA.
Medium • Adult • Female

Muffin is aptly named. She is just about the sweetest, little chubby girl you could ever meet. Best guess is that she is a blue heeler/lab mix who loves the water. Muffin is about 2 years old, heartworm negative, and spayed. She would love a home with someone who can take the time to train her and give her the attention she craves. She is just beginning leash walking. Muffin loves to run and would do best in a home with a fenced in yard. Muffin loves to play with other dogs, but does like to chase cats! Muffin was rescued from Lyons shelter as a pup and has been waiting on a home for a while, unfortunately she has been overlooked but would be a wonderful pet for someone! Muffin is available through SOAPS FOSTER PROGRAM. Thanks!! Holly SOAPS PO BOX 210 Vidalia, Ga 30475.
