Animal sheltering organizations face growing challenges with acquiring affordable liability insurance coverage. As the number of claims (including some in the seven-figure range) continues to rise, even those shelters with solid track records are paying the price. Serious dog bites seem to be at the epicenter of this insurance crisis. Animal welfare organizations are struggling to find coverage at all, and when they do find it the cost can be prohibitive.
