Sadie is home after being on the run for over 24 hours! Last night we drove out to milford to look for a missing c**n hound Sadie. As the evening before a loud noise spooked her and she ran off. We got there at sunset and put the drone to work. It was a harder search but we were still seeing pretty good but after a couple hours into the search and still no Sadie we were losing hope. We had to make a move to cover an area better and on the 5th battery we finally found that heat signature we were looking for! We sent dad in to get Sadie and on the first attempt she wasn't having it. But the 2nd attempt we were in a better position and it all came together. When Sadie seen her dad she came running across a field about 50 yards and was so happy to finally see her family. There truly isn't nothing better then reuniting someone with their lost pet. I'm truly obsessed with it.

Last night we were fortunate enough to find Zoey a missing pup of over 24 hours. Zoey got away from her owner when something freaked her out when getting into her carrier at the vet office. One thing that helped get Zoey back was the post made about her got over 700 shares so everyone in that area was on the lookout which helped our success as several sightings was on Oberting rd with the most recent one about 30 minutes before we started. A recent sighting like this is nice as this speeds up the process of finding them as we have a great focus point. Which helped her cause we were able to locate her in 10 minutes running frantically around a house. Jen and her son did great as they were approaching being quite as Zoey was under a thick stuff just chilling. After getting close and softly calling Zoey name she came out. She was scared at first and was about to run but decided to stay there. Jen got down low and as she talked to Zoey that tail started to go nuts as Zoey realized it was mom and went straight to her. It was so awesome seeing how excited she was to finally see the people she was looking for.

Had us a interesting call this evening about some bison that broke through a fence as they been missing for a couple days. My uncle and I went out to patriot Indiana and after an hour or so we were able to locate them. It was getting later in the evening so it is decided to hold off on trying to get them tonight and get a team together in the morning. We ended up learning from the property owner that they were there yesterday as well. Hopefully they can get them rounded up now they know where they are finally. Thought id share as it's not everyday we get to look for over 2000 pound animals. Let alone a heard of buffalo!

Fiona a skittish rescue pup got away with her sister Belle yesterday evening when the gate was left open. Fiona being skittish ran for the road and got clipped by a car and darted off into the woods and Belle ran back home. Rob and Nannie tried everything but knew they needed a hand so they gave us a call today. It was a nice evening for searching as cloud cover moved in and it made for great conditions. On the first battery we didn't have any luck. Actually we didn't see much but a couple deer. We kept searching back and forth and close to the end of the 2nd battery we found Fiona deep into the woods. Fiona was skittish of everything but she love her sister Belle and Nannie so we dent them in after Fiona. Nannie was doing great and you could tell Fiona knew it was family as she wasn't running off. As they approach her Fiona got hope started wagging that tail as she was able to finally see her people. It was such an awesome moment I just love it when a plan comes together. As for Fiona she has a little limp but doing good.

Last night we were lucky enough to find and get Carly home! Carly is a precious little pup who got scared and bolted the night before. She was scared running from house to house but wouldn't go to anyone. There was a lot of people trying to get her which was the problem. Most pups only 1 person needs to approach them as the more people being there is intimidating for the pups. We went out the first night looking for Carly as she eventually vanished and despite our best shot effort we just couldn't locate her. She just completely disappeared that night more then likely seeking cover to get away. The next night we went back out and at this time there was still zero sightings. We got the drone up and went to work. It was a good night as we were finding everything and after an hour we finally found a heat signature we were looking for and it was Carly. I was so excited I couldn't even call Bill I had to have Becca do it for me. Carly was pretty deep into the woods for a little dog. Close to 200 yards i'd say and getting to her was going to be tough. Bill was heading over to Carly when we realized she was heading in the direction to come out of the woods so we remained patient for a few minutes. Carly ended up coming into a field and was heading for a street. I had Bill walk down the street to meet her. When our moment came Bill called her name and Carly stopped on a dime and starred straight at Bill. She was nervous but wasn't running away so I knew we had a chance. After a couple moments and getting Bill to get down on the ground Carly finally worked her way to Bill and she was finally able to get home where she belonged. It was a great find and one I soon won't forget.

Last night we were fortunate enough to find Odin. Odin was on a walk at Eden Park when something spooked him and the leash broke. Everyone tried hard to find him driving and looking everywhere but decided it was time to bring us in. We found Odin on the first battery on a mountain side that had tall fencing everywhere so this made it extremely hard to get to him. To top things off Odin is a skittish dog who lived a rough life before he found this awesome family. Our first few attempts were unsuccessful he was nervous but never would run so I knew we could get him just needed to get him in the right spot. After about hour and a half of trying that spot came. Odin finely came out of the woods where it was easy to get to him. Let me tell you what once he finally realized it was mom that little tail and butt of his was going nuts. He was so excited to finally be found by his family. Late night but worth every second.

This morning we were lucky enough to find Cooper an Amish mill puppy Shihtzu. At 10 months old Cooper is skittish of sounds and new people and while walking him at the park a loud noise spooked him and he slipped his harness and ran for the woods. Owners looked all day but had no luck so they decided to give us a try. We got there this morning and was searching hard but no luck. After while into the search we got a tip that he was seen in a area not far away. Which meant Cooper had to swim across a big creek and to get to this area. We took the drone there and sure enough he was on the same street from yesterday then goodness for the tip cause we were all losing hope. Cooper being never off everyone but he sure as heck was excited to see his momma which he grew to love already. His tail was just going nuts and giving her kisses. He was glad to be found. Little video in the comments.

Thought id share a final update on Teto and Sakura but they are both officially home and doing well. Both were bitten a couple times and needed surgery to get the infection out of them. Sakura was in worse shape as she was also bitten on the head and a gash in her stomach. The pups were severally dehydrated and in very bad shape when we found them. But they both made it home and are tough little pups. Couldn't even imagine what they went through and honestly don't even went to think about it.
