$500 Reward For Missing Seeing Eye Puppy In Northern NJ

WANTAGE, NJ — Have you seen Ondrea? This German shepherd Seeing Eye puppy-in-training has gone missing from her Wantage home, and there is a $500 "no questions asked" reward for her return.

Ondrea was last seen in the Lake Neepaulin section of Wantage, on Arrowhead Drive Monday morning. She is about 14-months-old, 50 pounds, was wearing a flat ID collar and has a tattoo in her right year.

So far, there have been no credible sightings, Michelle Barlak, a public relations specialist with The Seeing Eye, told Patch. A Facebook group, monitored by Barlack, three members of Love On A Leash, and Ondrea's trainer, Patrick Hanson, has been created to help coordinate search efforts.

"Volunteers are currently canvassing the area, local authorities are aware and on the lookout, there is a search and rescue team looking, people are posting fliers and signs," Barlak wrote in the group.

All sightings should be reported to The Seeing Eye at 800-539-4425. Locals are asked to avoid calling the Wantage Animal Control/Shelter with questions about Ondrea.

Ondrea escaped from her home trying to chase something through the storm door, Hanson wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post, the Daily Record reported. Because Seeing Eye puppies are not usually allowed out on their own, there a chance Ondrea is hiding underneath a deck or dock.

The Seeing Eye has provided this flyer for anyone interested in helping with the search:
