Sept. 17, 2026–Stephanie Williamson/Director & Co-Founder Save a Stray
Stephanie Eads Williamson is the Director and co-founder of Save a Stray, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of stray animals through vital spay and neuter initiatives. With a rich background as a Senior Executive Hospital Representative for Merck for 15 years, Stephanie discovered her true calling in animal welfare at a young age, taking care of stray dogs in her community even before starting first grade.
With the unwavering support of her husband, Garrett Williamson, Stephanie has transformed her passion into a life’s mission. Under her leadership, Save a Stray has grown from a small initiative focused on rescuing animals from shelters to transporting 40-60 pets monthly to a spay-neuter center, successfully completing over 450 spay/neuter procedures each month.
Stephanie is also a proud mother to her beloved pets: Blondie Gail, Steel, Sabrina, Hank, and Charlie. She is excited to share her insights and experiences with you today, highlighting the importance of spaying and neutering in the pursuit of a healthier, happier community for both animals and people.
