She Who Conquers: Jane Alm and Paisley’s Life After the Lab

When Jane Alm brought Paisley home, the former research beagle was so shut down that even drinking water, accepting a treat, or stepping outside felt overwhelming. Jane began by sitting nearby and reading, giving Paisley time to feel safe.

Jane joins John Ramer, Lori Cohen, and Chelsey Marino to share how patience, routine, and small steps have helped Paisley begin to trust. From her first confident walks to initiating play with fellow beagle Oban, each breakthrough offers a glimpse of the dog she’s becoming.

Jane also shares the value of keeping a progress journal, finding support from other adopters, and meeting a fearful dog where she is. Together, they explore how sharing these stories can raise awareness about animal testing and life after the lab.

For anyone adopting, fostering, or learning to understand a fearful dog, Jane and Paisley’s story offers practical insight and plenty of hope.
