spotts@salisburypost.com SALISBURY ó A Salisbury family lost everything they owned following a fire early Thursday morning.
Marilyn Adrian and two children, daughter Cassandra, 13, and son Thomas, 21, left the 1701 N. Lee St. home with the pajamas on their backs and dogs in tow.
The family has 12 dogs, eight of which are newborn puppies. One of the dogs, a pitbull named Max, which the family was watching for a friend, was missing for some time and presumed dead.
A firefighter found Max in the kitchen covered in soot.
Salisbury Fire officials have not yet determined a cause of the fire, which completely destroyed the family’s home.
Marilyn Adrian said she smelled smoke and soon saw fire coming from the dining room wall.
Just two years ago, a tree fell through the back portion of the home while a landscaper was cutting it and the family was still in the midst of repairs when the fire broke out.
No one was injured during the fire.
