What We Do
We provide professional thermal drone search support to help locate lost pets in rural, wooded, and low-visibility areas. Every situation is different, and timing, weather, terrain, and animal behavior all play a role.
Our goal is to provide more than just a drone flight. We combine thermal imaging, search strategy, terrain evaluation, sighting analysis, and advanced AI assisted mapping tools to help make each search as informed and effective as possible while providing guidance throughout the recovery process.
How It Works
• Initial phone intake• On-site thermal assessment and first search flight• Structured thermal drone search based on terrain, conditions, and animal behavior.• When appropriate, we combine sighting history, mapping, terrain evaluation, and AI-assisted search planning tools to help focus the search on the areas most likely to produce results. These tools support our search strategy and decision making, but they do not guarantee a location or recovery.• Additional search and recovery methods may be recommended when appropriate based on the pet's behavior and the circumstances of the case.• Ongoing guidance, search recommendations, and case support, even after the initial search is complete.

Thermal Deer Recovery
When a deer is difficult to locate after the shot, thermal drone technology can significantly improve recovery efforts by covering large areas quickly and efficiently.Every recovery is different, and factors such as time since the shot, weather conditions, terrain, and property access all influence the search. While no recovery can be guaranteed, thermal imaging often provides an advantage over traditional searching methods.Please call as soon as possible after the shot.
