Almost Completely Blind Dog Missing In Barnegat: How To Help

BARNEGAT, NJ — A Barnegat dog has been missing since noon Sunday. Owners are asking the public to keep an eye out for him.

If you see him, do not approach him or call for him. He will run. Owners didn't want his name revealed because people might call it and make him nervous.

Instead, call Marilyn Wainwright at 732-232-7424 or the Barnegat Police Department at 609-698-5000.

The photo on the right, where he walks on the snow, is the more recent picture. His fur is a whitish, very light cream color. The oversize toy poodle is about 12 pounds and is almost completely blind.

The dog has been seen once since getting lost. He was around the wildlife refuge by Bayview Boulevard and Ridgeway Street, Wainwright said.

The Ocean County Sheriff's Office has searched with its drone but hasn't found the dog.

Patch will post any updates.
