🐾 PIPPIN IS HOME! ❤️

This one definitely had a happy ending!

Pippin, a Boston Terrier, escaped from his owners’ yard just minutes after moving into his new home this past Sunday evening. He managed to get out through the fence, and unfortunately, no one was able to get their hands on him. Pippin was extremely skittish and scared, making the situation even more difficult.

The owners reached out to us on Tuesday looking for help.

Because Pippin was so skittish, we recommended that they go ahead and purchase a live trap and game camera so we could work on getting him safely contained rather than trying to chase him down.

That night, we headed out to begin the search. 🚁

Within our very first flight, we found Pippin! 🙌

We spotted him walking along a creek before he eventually laid down to rest. Once we knew where he was spending time, the trap was set up nearby along with the game camera.

Then came the message we had been waiting for…

📲 PIPPIN HAS BEEN CAUGHT! 🎉🐶

A little past this afternoon, we were notified that Pippin had successfully been caught and was finally HOME SAFE with his owners! ❤️

Sometimes the best recovery is understanding their movements, and putting the right plan in place to get them home safely.

Welcome home, Pippin! 🐾❤️

Want to know what's on your land without disturbing the wildlife? We're now offering pre-season scouting services using thermal drone technology.

Instead of walking through thick cutovers, leaving scent, or struggling to find the right place to set up trail cameras, we can take the search to the sky. Our thermal drone allows us to quickly scout large areas and identify wildlife with minimal disturbance.

This client had no idea there was a wild sow with piglets living in one of his cutovers until we flew it!

Whether you're scouting for deer, checking bedding areas, or simply curious about what calls your property home, let SkyView Thermal Drone Services help you see what you've been missing.

📍Contact us today to schedule your pre-season scouting flight!

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from SkyView Thermal Drone Services! 🎆

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Independence Day with family and friends.

As you celebrate tonight, please remember that fireworks can be extremely stressful for pets. If possible, keep your dogs and cats safely indoors in a secure, quiet area. Even well-trained pets can become frightened, panic, and run away because of the loud noises.

A few simple precautions can help:
🐾 Keep pets inside before the fireworks begin.
🐾 Make sure they have ID tags or a microchip with current information.
🐾 Close doors, windows, and gates to prevent accidental escapes.
🐾 Comfort them with a calm, quiet environment.

Let's work together to keep our four-legged family members safe this holiday. Stay safe and enjoy the celebration! 🎇

While searching for Jackson for the second time, we came across something we definitely weren't expecting.

Two coyotes had just finished chasing a deer and quickly turned their attention to a black bear. We were pretty shocked watching them circle the bear and get as close as they did. Thankfully, they seemed smart enough not to push their luck too far.

This video is a great example of just how bold and ruthless coyotes can be when they're working together. Nature is full of surprises, and this was one of those moments that reminded us just how wild the outdoors can be.

🐾 Winston is HOME 🐾
Late Thursday night Winston, a Retriever/Beagle mix, got away from his owners while still carrying his leash. Early the next morning his owners reached out to us for help bringing him home safely.
Winston was last seen excitedly running about a quarter mile through the woods near a neighbor’s house, so that’s where we focused our search. After running our first drone battery, the owners received a call from a nearby neighbor saying they had just seen Winston less than 500 feet through the woods in the opposite direction of where he was seen.
We quickly turned the drone around and began searching the new area and sure enough, there he was! His leash had broken, but his harness was still on him. We immediately dropped a pinpoint location of where he was last spotted before he disappeared into some dense woods.
Just a few minutes later, the owners were able to get their hands on Winston and safely bring him back home where he belongs. 🏡❤️
Another happy ending and another family reunited. Thank you to everyone who helped keep an eye out for Winston!

🦮UPDATE HOME SAFE🦮
We received word yesterday that Gilli is finally back home safe. The owner found him Saturday morning around 11:00 AM in his yard after being missing for 4 days.
Surprisingly, he really wasn’t that hungry. From our experience, most dogs usually want to gorge themselves on food after being gone that long. That leads us to believe he either found a food source or may have been staying near someone’s home during that time. Unfortunately, we may never know for sure.
The important thing is Gilli is safe and back where he belongs. 🐾
