Insurance Company Drops Pit Owners

Homeowner Susie Salazar Loses Insurance Policy Over Pit Bull | AOL Real Estate:

'via Blog this'"We were informed that you have a pit bull in your home, and we have to drop your coverage," Salazar recalled being told by the AFI rep. "I'm mad, I'm upset," Salazar continued. "They don't even know my dog. They don't know what kind of dog he is. He's just full of joy and love. He's just a happy, happy dog." She said that AFI had insured her for 17 years, and she didn't sign any paperwork that mentioned anything about pit bulls. She's had Gauge for four years.

"These are tough situations," AFI spokesman Steve Witmer told KUSA. "Many years ago, we made a decision that there were certain breeds of dogs that we would no longer insure, and pit bulls are one of those breeds." Witmer explained that the costs of dog-bite claims were too high for the company to continue to cover.
