Samantha (Sami) Sours was born in Glenwood Springs and raised in Silt Colorado. She grew up with a wide variety of pets and had a habit of taking in rescues. She spent every chance she could get volunteering at the local veterinary clinic. At a young age she knew she wanted to become a veterinary technician so she attended Colorado Mountain College- Veterinary Technology Program and received an associates degree of veterinary technology and certificate in shelter management. While attending school she spent time working at an animal shelter and Pauline S. Schneegas Wildlife Foundation where she found a love for wildlife.

She moved to the western slope shortly after graduation and started her career as a certified veterinary technician in day practice but then quickly moved into emergency medicine. She has been involved in emergency medicine in the Grand Valley since 2014. She has a passion for emergency medicine and strives to learn new things everyday.

While not at work she loves to spend time with her husband (David), two wild boys (Jase & Hunter), Dogs (Leroy & Strudel), and Cats (Opal & Frank). Family time is very important to her. She also enjoys paddle boarding, snowmobiling, hiking, camping, and reading a good book.
