RICHLAND COUNTY — More than 80 animals, including 65 dogs and puppies, were rescued from a northern Ohio home Saturday morning.

One animal has died due to illness, according to the social media post.
The shelter had to close for the foreseeable future due to the large influx of animals now in their care.
The humane society asked for $20,000 in donations to help care for the animals and as of Sunday morning has received $20,465.
Information about when the animals will be up for adoption was not included in the post or possible charges the owners of the home are facing.
