Aerial thermal search for missing animals
Thermal imaging is most valuable when visibility is limited and an animal blends into its surroundings. Instead of relying only on what the human eye can see from ground level, we search from an aerial perspective across terrain that is difficult or impossible to cover on foot.
Lost Dogs & Cats
Scanning thick brush, cornfields, hedgerows, and woodland where frightened or injured pets often settle out of sight.
Active ScanningLivestock Recovery
Locating cattle, horses, goats, and other livestock that have wandered across large acreage or into mountainous terrain.
Thermal MappingNight Operations
Infrared sensors work when visibility is near zero, detecting heat blooms against cool ground after dark.
Low-Light MissionHow a search works
The Call
We gather details: last known location, time missing, temperament, recent sightings, and the surrounding terrain — fields, woods, streams, roads, farms, and trails.
Search Plan
We evaluate the environment and build a focused flight plan around the areas most likely to hold a frightened or injured animal.
Thermal Flight
Our drone scans from above with infrared thermal imaging, investigating heat signatures that cannot be seen from the road or on foot.
Next Steps
Sometimes we provide a location. Other times we narrow the search area or flag spots that deserve closer ground investigation — without pressuring the animal.
What to have ready
- Last known location and the time your animal went missing
- Recent sightings, including approximate times and directions of travel
- Clear photos of the animal
- Temperament — friendly, skittish, injured, or prone to roaming
- Property details and permission for adjacent land where possible
We cannot promise the outcome of every search, and no responsible animal recovery service can. What we can promise is that we will take the situation seriously and do everything we reasonably can to help.
