Former Laboratory Dogs Make Good Companions

Considering adopting a former laboratory dog but not sure what to expect? Dr. Stacy Lopresti-Goodman joins us to discuss the negative impact that confinement, social isolation, and physical abuse have on the psychological well-being of animals rescued from laboratories. Her latest published research paper is on the adoptability of former research beagles and their ability to overcome the trauma of life in a lab. This groundbreaking work shows that former laboratory dogs make good companions and should be given that chance.
