What We Need From You
To evaluate a search, we may ask for:
Last known location
Time and date last seen
Pet photos
Pet name, breed, color, size, and behavior
Collar, tracker, or microchip information
Whether the pet is friendly, fearful, injured, or likely to run
Property access information
Neighboring landowner permission status
Known hazards in the search area
Important Limitations
Drone search does not guarantee recovery. Heavy canopy, dense brush, terrain, weather, sunlight-heated ground, buildings, and animal movement can affect results.
We provide search assistance and location support. Capture, handling, veterinary care, and transport remain the responsibility of the owner or properly authorized personnel.
