The Jack Russells were last seen on November 13 this year at their property, about 12km northeast of Wagga.
Owner Bernard Whyte is calling for community assistance, saying they had distributed information to as many groups and organisations as possible.
“All the veterinary practices in Wagga have been notified,” Mr Whyte said.
“I’ve also notified the pound at Junee, as well as Wagga council.”
The three dogs are: 3.5-year-old female Willow, six-month-old female Lily and six-month-old male Bruno.
Mr Whyte said that while “we don’t have any leads at the moment”, he believed the dogs may have gone missing near Oura Road.
The reward will be provided to the person who returns the dogs to Wagga Veterinary Hospital or provide information that may lead to their whereabouts.
“The dogs are very friendly and we have a granddaughter who lives in Sydney and visits them during school holidays, so we’re all pretty upset,” Mr Whyte said.
“We’d love them back.”
On November 16, the Riverina Police District published a social media post about receiving reports that the dogs had been stolen.
All three Jack Russells are micro-chipped.
Anyone with information about the dogs’ whereabouts is also urged to contact Wagga Police Station on 6922 2599.
