Do you want to adopt or have a dog your home owners insurance policy will not allow you to have. Homeowners with breed exceptions on their insurance policy can get this policy and still own the breed of their choice because it insures the dog not the home. http://lkalmanson.com/dog.html. Renters, and dogs that have a past bite record can also get insured.
