LEETONIA, Ohio - Nearly a dozen animals died during a massive fire which destroyed a Leetonia home over the weekend.

On Friday, Jan. 13, two Animal Charity of Ohio staff members said their Woodville Road home was on fire and nearly a dozen of their pets were unaccounted for.

The family escaped safely with two of their pups, Mara and Callie.

However, the home was a total loss. 

Jane MacMurchy, Animal Charity Coordinator, organized a GoFundMe for them and their two surviving pups. The link is available here.

At this time it is unclear what caused the fire.
