Update: Kim Perkins is going to set the trap for us. Thank you Kim 😊

🚨HELP NEEDED 🚨

We have a missing cat named Fat Boy, that escaped at MedVet in Girard Ohio.

We found him very quickly, and tracked him into a old collapsed barn. We believe he made his way into a tiny hole and refuses to come out. Owner needs help with trapping him.

Might be an easy job ? Hopefully lol

💥 Drone Attack 💥

While searching for Cher in Boardman Ohio, we heard a buzzing close by but seen no lighting from a drone.

So upon taking off, we noticed a drone in the sky on thermal close to our area. Within a matter of seconds the drone made a direct line towards us and attempted to ram into us.

However we knew the drone was coming and we dropped our altitude.

The drone had all of its anti collision lights turned off, which is ILLEGAL, and this was an obvious attempt to not be seen before they tried to ram us.

Police were called. Prior to the search a brief discussion was had with Warbucks Drone Services to discuss search area so that no drones crossed into another pilots area.

Not even an hour into the search this drone, which is absolutely a DJI a Matrice 30T thermal drone, knew exactly where we were parked, and quickly tried to take us out.

Luckily, maybe an hour after the incident, Josh from Diversified Drone was able to locate the dog and we assisted in monitoring her, until she bedded down behind a residence. From there we worked with Canine Crusaders Mike Valerio to get a trap set for her.

Unfortunately, the home owner was disturbing the trap area, and she left at some point overnight.

Cher was spotted this morning. We are not sure how much we are going to continue working on this dog after these hostile attacks to our equipment. In the coming months many other pet owners will depend on us. Our heart breaks for Cher.

Shame on the drone pilots that tried to run us out of the sky.

So far we have already had a few pilots across our drone animal rescue network declare that they will participate in this event!

We obviously will be participating / running the Home For The Howlidays event 🐾

🐾 Home for the Howlidays 🎄

On December 23rd, we’re launching our first annual “Home for the Howlidays” event.

For this one day only, we are encouraging select pilots within our network to voluntarily conduct free lost-dog search efforts in their local areas at their own discretion, and to share their results with our community here.

Please note:
• Participation is limited and voluntary
• Not all pilots will participate
• Searches are not guaranteed
• Availability depends on location, weather, and pilot choice
• This post is not an advertisement for services
• This event is for one day only

This initiative is about community, compassion, and hope — coming together to help bring more dogs back where they belong.

Here’s to the first of many, and to more wagging tails, happy reunions, and dogs home for the howlidays 🐕

Find out who your pilot is near you on:

Update - He was caught overnight before before we left. Photo in comments 🙏

Wish us luck tomorrow 🍀

After this family having no other option for thermal drone pilots, we are making a 4 hour drive into Pennsylvania to search for this missing dog named Cinder!

The terrain is difficult, there has been heavy heavy snow, but we are going to do our best 🙌🏻t

Every one of these faces was once lost, scared, and alone.
Thanks to a thermal drone, quick action, and a lot of teamwork, they all made it home safely.
This video is a small reminder of how powerful compassion + technology can be. 🐾❤️
Please share to help spread awareness — and hope.
