Woman Takes Tenafly Family's Dog From Yard, $1K Reward Offered

TENAFLY, NJ – A family in Tenafly is offering a $1,000 reward to have their pet dog returned home safely.

Irene Yaroslavsky said Molly, her family’s black toy poodle, was last seen on Sunday around 5:30 p.m., when a woman in a small black car drove up and took the pup from their front yard, located in the area of Royden and Knoll roads.

While Yaroslavsky said they believe the anonymous woman “initially had good intentions,” but now, five days later, no reports have been made in any neighboring towns regarding a found poodle at police departments, shelters or vet’s offices.

“Molly has been in our family for over nine years and we all – including our three kids – adore her and miss her terribly,” she said.

Molly weighs about 10 pounds and also has kidney disease, which requires her to take medication and maintain a special diet.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Irene at 267-318-8583 or Seth at 303-594-9710.
