Why don't you just get a hypoallergenic dog, like a Bichon Frise, Poodle (and there are others), that your family wouldn't be allergic to? Then you could keep the dog inside too and wouldn't have to worry about it getting hit by a car. Also, you should take the dog to obedience classes so it becomes a well-trained dog with a strong recall.
