Dr. “Sammie” as is lovingly known, was born and raised on a cattle ranch outside of Carlsbad, New Mexico. She spent most of her time working on 4-H projects and studying wildlife. In 1988, she obtained her state and federal permits to rehabilitate wildlife, and she and her mother began operating a wildlife rehabilitation facility at the family ranch. They cared for everything from songbirds and hawks to deer and raccoons. In 1998, Dr. Uhrig received her degrees in Wildlife Biology and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University and went on to complete a Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Sciences, specializing in recognition and treatment of pain in animals.
