The Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society was then requested to respond. Once the animals were rescued from the structure, emergency aid was given to them by firefighters and local EMS crews.
Seven animals survived the fire and were taken to a local animal hospital for further treatment.
According to the Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society, there were an additional 70 animals found dead inside the home. Out of the 70 animals, 48 were cats and 22 were dogs.
The owner of the house was not home at the time of the fire. No civilians or firefighters were injured.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
