Default Insurance after a dog bite

My dog bit a neighborhood child about 9 months ago around christmas.
The bite was on the hand and needed a few stiches. When I reported it to
the insurance they settle the claim without notifying me of the final
outcome and now they are going to drop my homeowner's insurance policy
in November when it runs out.
I tried some other insurance companies but none will insure the house
with the dog on the policy. I even found this agent that does insurance
for zoos and circuses but he has a deductible of $5000.
Aren't dogs supposed to get a second chance? How can I get insurance
for the dog and not have to put him to sleep? Has anyone else had this
problem?

Try 1) going to an independent broker who works with a
variety of insurance firms, and/or 2) a carrier who provides
farm and agricultural coverage.

Oh man that's a problem an unfortunate number of people face.

Work with an insurance broker and you can probably insure around the dog
- but if you want the dog covered then that $5,000 deductible is very
reasonable.

Most companies are not giving a second chance to dogs anymore. They are
dropping homeowners after one bite.
