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.

We don't claim to be "trappers" when people call with a pet that needs to be trapped we always refer them to LPR as doing the drone work is our thing. But when Ollie got away and they only lived 5 minutes from us I knew it was time to clean the dust off and get the trap out as he was hiding along 74!!! It took a few days as his moves were crazy. He crossed the highway twice and by miracle made it 3 days along the highway with no issues. Last 3 nights we would find him with the drone then move the trap by him and this morning at 5:38am we finally got him. Stressful few days but he's home safe now.

It's hard to believe this was a year ago, this was hands down one of the best moments ive had in my life. Frank was missing for a few days and this moment when this young lady reunited with Frank will be embedded in my mind forever. Just thought I would share this memory as it's one I'll never forget.

Kobe, a friendly family dog, slipped away from his pet sitter and disappeared. His owners searched for hours, calling his name and driving the streets where he was being seen but was always 2 steps behind him. As the hours turned into more than 30 long, stressful hours, hope started to fade.
That’s when we launched the drone to search from the air. In under three minutes, we picked up Kobe’s heat signature tucked away in a brushy area where he couldn’t easily be seen from the ground. The team moved in quickly, guided by the drone’s location.
Just 10 minutes later, Kobe was safely back with his family tired, a little dirty, but wagging his tail and happy to be home. What felt like a hopeless situation turned into a happy ending thanks to the power of drone technology. 🐾🚁

Last night we had another job on a cat named Snuggles. Snuggles got out 4 nights prior and with no luck of finding they wanted to give us a try. We got started about 920pm by 940pm Snuggles was found and home. Like true cat fashion she was 2 houses down just hanging out. Our first attempt of getting her back was no luck. So we got different treats and some wet food and she loved that. After a couple minutes she came to mom and was snatched up and home where she belongs. It was a great night for us. These are the night's we love.

Yesterday evening we had us a great recovery on 2 mini doodles Tito and Sakura. We got the message about the 2 pups the night before but due to the high winds we just couldn't go. When we showed up on scene the pups have been missing for 48 hours, we got the story and put the drone to work. Thermals were good but not great, we were seeing our usual suspects but no Tito and Sakura. With every battery we kept expanding and expanding and expanding and was loosing hope after the 3rd battery. I just figured 2 ten pound pups just can't be far. On the 4th battery i knew i had to change so went in the opposite direction we thought they would be and found a small heat signal and to our excitement it was Tito but no Sakura. When I see this it's often not good, but i was hoping she wasn't far. So I started to circle the area and 100 yards away i found Sakura laying in a creek. Owner made the hike in and got Tito first but could tell she was hurting and her leg caught in the harness. She then made it to Sakura and she was hurting as well. I knew she needed help so I brought the drone back and hiked in to help her when we could see both pups have been bitten! More then likely by a Coyote that deep into the woods. How they survived we still never know. Little pets like that normally wouldn't survive so someone upstairs was watching over them no doubt. Both pups seem to be doing ok with Sakura in a little worse shape then Tito but both went straight to the emergency vet. Thank gosh we found them, it's hard telling how much longer they could of survived.

Baby is home after a 3 day adventure! Baby got out when the door blew open from a windy day. Owners tried hard to find her but Baby was very elusive so they gave us a call. We got started just before dusk and after about hour and a half searching Baby came out from her hiding spot and we found her in the woods. Typical cat fashion she was only 4 house away!!! It took awhile and some coaxing from Maddox but we finally got her. Now she is back right where she belongs warm and in the house!

Final moment of 2 hours of trial and error of getting Frank back Saturday. It was such a intense moment and we all worked hard to get him back.

Bit of a long one but a good story i feel! Last night was one the toughest recovery we had in a long time. But the couple years of experience and seeing just about every situation possible helped us get Frank back. Frank got away from his owners on Friday evening as Frank got scared and bolted. We came out Friday night and covered over 1000 acres but we didn't find Frank. Come to find out when this was all over he was in the opposite direction we were told by neighbors he went. It was a tough search that night as we could only fly at 200ft cause the airport which made searching for a 80 pound dog harder. It felt like we were barely getting over the tree tops. Saturday came and no sightings nothing all day long. It was bugging me so i went back out. As we were there a sighting happened way down Licking Pike. When we got down there we knew the area but no direction, it took a couple minutes but we finally found Frank way up a hill side. Frank is a velcro dog to Chris so we thought it be easy but all the mud Frank heard Chris coming and went away. After a couple attempts we had a good shot. We got out in front of Frank and he walked 6 feet away from Chris and ran off in the other direction. He was just so skittish. I had Chris and Clay go get Salvador which is Franks brother. This time Frank was in the middle of the hillside so we guided Clay thrift the woods to push Frank out to Salvador and Chris. After about 30 minutes we finally had our moment, Frank was heading straight to them and you could tell Salvador could smell him as he was pulling the leash. When Frank seen Salvador a standoff happened as this was our shot. Everyone was dead quite and my heart was beating out my chest as this was 2 hours of waiting for this moment. After a minute Frank started smelling Salvador and his tail slowly started to wag then it went nuts once he knew it was family. It was such an awesome intense moment and made all the work from everyone worth it.

Winnie the great Pyrenees has lived a rough life as the first part of his life was spent living in a backyard chained to a tree. But along came Cary who adopted him and he went from a single tree with a coffee table for cover to a big farm where he could run and play. Winnie really fell in love with his knew family and his freedom but he ended up loving it a little too much and ran off into the woods pulling a 12 foot lead. Everyone searched all over looking for him but had no luck and called in the help of a thermal drone. We got out there got the story and put the drone to work. It was a perfect day for it as it was cloudy and rain but rain is no big deal for our equipment as long as it's not at night. We started our grid search seeing animals everywhere and after about 15 minutes we found Winnie stuck at the edge of a field. Cary and Gabe made the drive over got the permission we needed to get him and boy was Winnie happy to see his family, he was going nuts wagging his tail. It was a great sight to see and moments like this make is worth it.
