Your focus on training, rescuing and caring for animals is at the heart of your mission. You need to protect that mission, along with every other aspect of your operation, which may include your adopters, members, employees, volunteers or property.
Our coverages for shelters, zoos and other nonprofit animal organizations provide specific coverages to protect your unique exposures.
Why You Need Coverage: Claims Scenarios
Auto coverage
A zoo employee was transporting one of its smaller animals to an offsite event in the organization’s owned vehicle. The driver swerved and hit a guardrail after failing to recognize slowing traffic. The vehicle was disabled and towed away. The zoo was glad to count on Great American’s Signature Auto Broadening Endorsement, which provided up to $200 for the towing expenses that the zoo incurred that day.
Professional coverage
An owner brought his cat, Oliver, to the veterinary clinic fearing the cat’s leg was broken. The veterinarian diagnosed the cat with a sprain and treated it as such. When Oliver’s leg did not heal properly, the owner sought a second opinion where an x-ray showed a fracture on the leg. The owner filed a claim with the veterinary clinic for property damage. The clinic felt relieved that their Great American policy included coverage caused by a professional veterinarian service act.
