Twenty-one dogs have been killed in a fire at a kennel in Beaver Dam, Wis.

The Beaver Dam Fire Department says about 31 dogs were at Everafter Kennels when the fire was reported at 6:40 p.m. Friday.

A Web site for the kennel says it is a family-owned operation that breeds Doberman Pinscher and Chinese Crested dogs.

Officials say the fire heavily damaged two sides of the structure, and one end of the roof caved in.

The Dodge County Humane Society was contacted to help in recovering the dogs. There was no word on the condition of the dogs who survived.
