No Sightings Of Seeing Eye Pup Missing In NJ, $500 Reward Offered

MORRISTOW, NJ — One week has passed, and there are still no sightings of Ondrea, a missing Seeing Eye puppy-in-training.

Ondrea was last seen last week on June 24, in the Lake Neepaulin section of Wantage, on Arrowhead Drive. Since then, there have been no credible sightings, Michelle Barlak, a public relations specialist with The Seeing Eye, said on Monday.

The German shepherd puppy is about 14-months-old, 50 pounds, was wearing a flat ID collar and has a tattoo in her right year.

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.

"We're so grateful to all of you who have helped spread the word. So many of you have stepped up!" Barlak said in the group, which has about 650 members.

All sightings should be reported to The Seeing Eye at 800-539-4425 or to your local police department. 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:
