My brother-in-law has two pit bulls, and we live in NJ. He was recently notified by his home owners insurance that they do not cover them and once his policy runs out they are not renewing...Can anyone that has these dogs and an insurance agency that covers them please let me know. Thank you.

I don't know if they do homeowners insurance policies, but you might want to check into a company called Sportsman. They insure LOTS of the dog clubs in the Midwest.

I also would contact AmStaff rescue. http://www.amstaff.org/

This really makes me sad. The pitt bull breed has been victimized because of a few stupid people that have trained pitt bulls to be killers. I have worked with animals for 10 years and have been privileged to work with some very sweet pitt bulls. I even owned two of them, both are deceased due to old age but what great pets they were. They loved my children. I own my home and am insured through all-state home owners insurance. I now own a rottweiler which is another breed that is being stereo-typed. Tell your brother good luck.

I'm with American Family and they have the same policy that your brother-in-law has. They will not insure if you have certain breeds because of the high risk.

I'd talk to the insurance company and see if the ban can be lifted if the dogs have their Canine Good Citizen certificates, and then work on getting those.

Good luck!
