TOMMY IS HOME SAFE AFTER 9 DAYS!

What an incredible rescue story! Tommy had just arrived from Korea when he slipped away at YVR Airport — one of the loudest, busiest, and most dangerous areas for a lost dog.

Parker and Julia from Petsearchers were called in, and after searching every corner of the parking lots and terminals, they shifted focus to quieter areas nearby. There he was — hiding deep in the bushes just off a busy airport road. A trap was set, but Tommy had other plans and moved north toward the industrial and forested areas, full of coyotes and heavy traffic.

Sightings soon came in from a fuel yard and YVR Wildlife Control, who spotted him near the runway. Cameras and traps were set, and Tommy cautiously checked one out — halfway in before backing out. Then, he disappeared again.

After remapping the area, Parker and Julia placed new bait stations and cameras — and finally, Tommy reappeared! A freshly baited trap was moved into position, and this time, he went all the way in. Safe at last!

Back at the office, Tommy’s true personality came out — wagging his tail, giving kisses, and asking for scratches. Such a sweet, gentle soul.

Huge thanks to the RCMP, YVR staff, Wildlife Control, and the many industrial sites who gave access to their properties. Special thanks to Karen McKay for helping on-site with food and watch, and to everyone who called in sightings, shared posts, and kept Tommy in their thoughts.

After 9 days on the run, Tommy is finally safe.

WINTER HAS BEEN TRAPPED BY PETSEARCHERS AFTER 6 DAYS!!

Winter, a beautiful indoor British Shorthair, gave his family quite the scare when he darted out the door and disappeared. Being an indoor cat, his owners searched tirelessly and hoped he’d find his way back home — but after days with no sightings, they reached out to Parker and Julia at Petsearchers for help.

After assessing the situation and confirming that Winter was still in the area, a strategic plan was put into motion. Cameras and humane traps were set up in key locations he was likely to visit. A few curious outdoor cats delayed the process, but persistence paid off — and on the sixth night, Winter was safely trapped!

His family was overjoyed to have him home, and Winter wasted no time settling back into the comfort and safety of his home where he belongs. Lots of cuddles are being had!

Welcome home, Winter!

WRIGLEY IS HOME SAFE AFTER GOING MISSING NEAR BOUNDARY BAY AIRPORT!

Parker and Julia have been so busy lately that we are behind is happy updates!

Wrigley, an adorable pup, got spooked by another dog during his regular walk at North 40 Park Reserve. Normally friendly, Wrigley bolted in fear after the encounter and disappeared into the large wooded area. His dog walker immediately began searching and quickly called Petsearchers for assistance. With such a dense and potentially dangerous area, time was critical.

Parker and Julia arrived right away with Hunter to begin the search. After getting the full story, we outlined a plan — the dog walker would remain calm and stay near the parking area and entrance, since lost dogs often circle back to where they last saw their person or vehicle. Meanwhile, we began tracking through the trails and thick brush, following multiple scent trails that eventually led toward the train tracks — which, luckily, ran close to the parking lot.

Then came the call we’d been hoping for — Wrigley had been spotted just 20 feet from the car, resting in tall grass by the tracks! The dog walker followed instructions perfectly: she stayed calm, let Wrigley approach at his own pace, and gently coaxed him to safety.

Wrigley is now safe and back home!

This is a perfect example of how owners (or in this case, a wonderful dog walker) can help during a search — by staying positioned at likely return points and allowing the lost dog to approach on their own terms while we search the area.

“I will be forever grateful to them for coming out so quickly. Thank you again for everything. You are both rockstars.”

We are thrilled that this sweet boy is home safe and that we could be a part of his rescue!

HARLEY IS HOME SAFE AFTER 6 DAYS!

Harley, an indoor cat, accidentally slipped outside and disappeared. After days of searching with no sign of her, Harley’s worried owner reached out to Petsearchers for help.

Knowing she would likely try to return home, Parker and Julia set traps in the areas she’d be most comfortable. But with heavy rain, it took a few nights before Harley finally appeared on camera. Weather can often delay trapping, which is why consistency and patience are key.

With constant updates and encouragement to Harley’s owner, the night finally came when the rain stopped. And there she was—Harley showed up on both cameras, circling the traps and hanging around the house.

Since daylight was approaching and she still hadn’t gone into the trap, we gave her owner a different plan: quietly open the door and let Harley slip back inside. She followed every step carefully—and in walked Harley!

Her family was overjoyed. Without cameras, no one would have even known Harley was there and it’s likely she would’ve gone back into hiding again. Thanks to patience, persistence, and trust in the process, Harley is now back where she belongs—soaking up cuddles and purrs.

Welcome home, Harley!

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!! 🚨

Petsearchers Documentary in the Making!

At Petsearchers, our mission has always been to bring families back together with their missing pets. We’re thrilled to share that filming has officially begun on a documentary that will take viewers behind the scenes—showcasing the dedication, tools, and heart that go into finding and safely capturing lost animals. The documentary will be airing on TV in Canada and worldwide (stay tuned for where).

This project is deeply personal to us. Creating a film about our work is something Al and Parker have always dreamed of. We began this journey when Al became too sick to continue working, and being able to bring this project to life in his honour—to share what he helped build—is a true privilege.

As part of this film, we’re looking to feature real cases. If your beloved dog (or other pet) has recently gone missing, and you’d like the Petsearchers’ team to help in the search while also being part of this documentary, we’d love to hear from you.

Your story could not only bring your pet home, but also help raise awareness for other families facing the heartbreak of a missing companion.

Reach out to us directly if you’d like to learn more or see if your case might be a fit.

Together, we can reunite families—and share the journey with the world.

Here’s a little sneak peek of what’s to come!

BOBO HAS BEEN CAUGHT BY PETSEARCHERS AFTER 2 DAYS!!

Bobo, an indoor cat, was staying at a sitter’s house when he managed to push out a window screen and slip away overnight. His owner searched everywhere but grew increasingly worried—this wasn’t his home, and he didn’t know the neighbourhood.

That’s when Petsearchers was called. Parker and Julia created a plan, knowing Bobo was likely hiding nearby and should return overnight. To avoid risking spooking him, Hunter the bloodhound was held back, and instead Julia set traps in the areas Bobo was most likely to revisit, baiting them with his favorite food.

At 3 a.m., Bobo appeared—and without hesitation, walked straight into the trap! His family is overjoyed and relieved to have their boy safe and sound again.

Welcome home, Bobo!

PETSEARCHERS LOCATES & ASSISTS IN RESCUING KITTEN STUCK 80 FEET UP A TREE!

Sweet and curious Loki, an indoor 8 month old kitten, slipped outside for the very first time and vanished. After a frantic overnight search, her family could hear her cries but couldn’t find her. That’s when Petsearchers was called in—we knew we couldn’t let this kitten spend another night outdoors.

Using the thermal drone, Parker quickly scanned the area and spotted Loki—perched a staggering 80 feet high at the very top of a tree. With rain on the way, time was critical. Gabby, an experienced arborist who has rescued cats before, dropped his family plans and rushed over to help.

Working together, Parker and Gabby formed a plan. Guided by the drone, Gabby climbed to Loki’s exact spot and, with incredible skill, safely secured her. After nearly two hours of effort, Loki was finally reunited with her relieved family—the joy on their faces said it all.

We captured the entire rescue—from locating Loki, to the climb, to securing her and it’s a small glimpse into what the rescue was! It was amazing working with Gabby, he’s a true professional!

We’re so happy to have sweet Loki home where she belongs!

ARIES HAS BEEN LOCATED BY PETSEARCHERS AFTER 3 DAYS!!

Aries, a sweet indoor/outdoor cat, disappeared from his yard on Sunday afternoon. While he’s known to roam a little, he always comes back home — so when he didn’t return that night, his family knew something was wrong.

After an extensive search of the neighbourhood with no luck, his owners reached out to Petsearchers for help. Parker and Hunter got to work right away. Within about an hour of tracking, Hunter narrowed Aries’ scent trail down to a couple of properties about a block away — an area Aries had never been known to visit.

Because we never want to risk spooking a cat out of a safe hiding place, Hunter was pulled back and Aries’ owners searched and spoke with neighbours. One yard had three dogs, and the homeowner was certain Aries couldn’t be there. But later that night, when Aries’ family returned to softly call for him… they heard a meow!

Aries had been hiding in that very yard with the dogs, the one Hunter alerted to, and had climbed up a tree to stay safe. Thankfully, with the help of a ladder and a kind neighbour, he was brought down and is now safe back at home!

This reunion was a true team effort — Hunter showing the direction of travel and property he was likely to be in, and Aries’ dedicated owners following through to search and call for him at just the right time.

From his family:
“I never would have known he was in that area. Thank you so much!”

We’re so relieved Aries is back where he belongs. Welcome home, brave boy!

DIDI IS HOME SAFE!!

Sweet little Didi gave her owners quite the scare when she was out on a hike with her dog walker at Woodlot Trail in Maple Ridge. Another dog coming down the trail startled her, and in a flash she disappeared. Despite their best efforts, neither the walker nor her owners were able to locate her.

That’s when Petsearchers was called. Parker and Julia headed out with Hunter and quickly picked up the path Didi had darted off into. It led into very dense terrain—tough for people to push through, but just the kind of spot a small dog could feel safe in. Trail cams were set to watch for her, and after giving her owners tips and guidance, including making a “clothes trail” back to their vehicle, they waited in hope that Didi would find her way back.

Sure enough, Didi followed the scent trail right out of the woods and walked straight up to her family’s vehicle—tired, but safe and sound. Boy were they relieved!

Here’s what her owner had to say:
“I cannot recommend Petsearchers Canada enough. Having your pet go missing can be heartbreaking. Parker and Julia put us at ease by walking us through their process and educating us on the possible behaviour of our lost pet. Along with the resources they provided and we followed their instructions. It played out exactly as discussed and we got our precious baby back. Thank you guys so much.”

We’re so glad Didi is back home safe!
