Reward offered for missing dog

Alysia Weismantle of Slippery Rock Township is asking for help finding her missing poodle named Rosie. The family is offering a reward for her return.

SLIPPERY ROCK TWP — A psychologist who lives in the township says her 10-month-old emotional support dog may have been taken from her yard earlier this month.

Alysia Weismantle has been making postings on social media, putting up flyers and conducting searches in the area of her family's home on Mohawk Trail after her dog named Rosie disappeared March 1.

Weismantle, who is a psychologist at There is a Solution Counseling Services in Cranberry Township, said her husband left their house briefly that day and returned to see Rosie in the driveway — which was unusual because she had been left inside the house locked behind a gate. He parked his vehicle and seconds later Rosie was gone, she said.

Rosie is a brown toy poodle weighing about 5 pounds. She was wearing a pink collar and a bark collar that has a blinking green light. She goes to the psychology practice every day and provides emotional support to clients there.

Weismantle said it was very unlikely that Rosie ran away, so they fear that she was stolen or snatched by a bigger animal. They reported her missing to state police.

“There have been no signs of her, not one footprint. It's like she vanished,” she said.

The family is offering a reward for her return. Anyone who has information about the dog is asked to call 724-234-5134.
