End Breed-Restrictive Practices by Insurance Companies

Insurance companies can charge responsible pet owners higher premiums, deny insurance coverage, or even drop their insurance policies altogether based solely on a dog’s breed or appearance. This not only hurts these dogs and their families, but also the many large dogs in shelters waiting to be rescued. That’s why we need you to sign the petition urging your state's insurance commission to protect consumers and focus on the behavior of the dog. Use the form below to find a petition targeting your state insurance commission. Then sign and share this petition with friends and family  and help build momentum for this campaign (or share this graphic).

Enter the name of your state in the form below to get started.

Note: Five states [New York, Nevada, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Michigan] have laws prohibiting insurance companies from targeting owners based on their dog's breed. If you live in one of those states and are experiencing restrictions from your insurance provider, please use this site to file a complaint.

Eliminate burdensome requirements for Illinois foster programs

In July 2021, the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) published proposed amendments to the state’s Animal Welfare Act. The proposed amendments provide many positive improvements for dogs and cats in Illinois. However, some of the well-meaning amendments would make it difficult for shelters to maintain their foster programs. Shelters, like so many places, are under strain. With pandemic restrictions being reduced or eliminated, many people are traveling or returning to work. That means fostering and adoptions are returning to pre-pandemic levels. We need the state to find the right balance of making fostering less difficult for animal shelters and their volunteers while maintaining a safe environment for the dogs and cats. Help make it better for animal shelters to implement lifesaving foster programs. The deadline for submitting comments is August 30, so please sign and share the petition today.
