Lost Pet Drone Recovery.

04/22/2025

Yes we do night time recoveries as well. This was a total team effort, I was already on a call when got another one for a lost poodle named Payton, so I called Lost Pet Drone Recovery teammate Darrell Maggert and he was able to take the call, once I was finished I went to help as well, when I arrived Mary Humphrey was already there so we had all out bases covered if we were able to locate Payton, it took some time but Payton was recovered in the early morning hours. A HUGE shout out to Mary, I think Darrell says it best in the video...She sure is a trooper.
Enjoy...

It't 4H season, this weekend we got our first Calf call of the spring, We have a passion for all animals but the 4H program is near and dear to our hearts. We 100% work for donations when helping 4H owners. This Calf took is under 15 minutes to find, as most livestock finding them is the easy part. this calf took us on a journey, later this spring ill share the whole recovery.

If this video don't make you smile nothing will, Jazzy the Yorkie went on a 7 day journey after getting scarred during a storm that produced tornado's Being gone that long she went into flight mode and we needed to do everything right to make this work and the owners did just that they followed directions perfectly and the rest is history...... Just to give you an idea of how long this process took from the time we started the process you see in the video to the ending was over an hour.

Been falling behind on posting videos, I'm hoping in the next couple weeks I can get a few of them out from earlier in the year . This was a recovery we did just this past Sunday between the storm that hit Sunday, It takes a team a lot of times to get these dogs safe and this recovery was no different. "Thanks Mary for your help" Quick back story, earlier in the day a gal was involved in a car accident and when she got both her dogs out of the car they got away. One of them had a long lead attached so I was most concerned for this one. This is the video of the recovery of the one with the lead attached. "Yes BOTH dogs are now home safe"

At the end of the day we don't care how the lost pet gets caught as long as it does, A lot of times it takes a team to all work together.

Another very busy weekend with Pet Recoveries, Not all of them go as quickly as this one did, we were up in the air less than 20 minutes and we had her found.

This recovery had a little bit of everything, Ella is on medication for her seizure's and had been missing for 4 days, we flew a couple days earlier but was unable to locate her, the owners then had a sighting of her and contacted us immediately, TIME is everything when searching with a drone. once we arrived it didn't take us long to locate her. Ella had run already once from her owners so the plan was to ONLY locate then call Mary to come in and set a live trap, But that plan took a quick turn once we seen Ella starting to have one of her seizure's we took this opportunity to see if we could get to her before coming out of it. There was a lot of team work that took place on this recovery.

I also run the Michigan Dronedogs page we do some other drone and dog work on that page where lost pet is designated for pet recovery only We have been busy the last two weeks with pet recoveries. (See below) Please keep in mind drones are not the save all tool, YES it’s a VERY powerful tool but a lot of things have to line up for us to be successful. Top things we need is a Recent “Confirmed” sighting recent meaning hours not days.

Was super hesitant to do this story but they did a good job putting it together.

Losing a furry friend can be like losing a family member. One company is finding them with drones.

Lost Pet and Livestock Recovery


Thank you for reaching out to Lost Pet Drone Recovery. We hope you never have to use our services but if you do below is some information to help you make an educated decision as to hire us or not also attached is our fee for our service we provide.
1. Thermal drones are a GREAT tool in the winter/cool season when there is no foliage on the trees
2. Thermal drones are NOT a great tool during the summer months or when there is heavy foliage on the trees, we can still do open areas well but wooded areas we would not recommend a thermal drone.
3. Call us sooner than later after your pet goes missing or has been seen, time is a difference maker.
4. Calling days after your pet has gone missing without any sightings, our services are not recommended, we will still go if you wish but understand our chances are very low.
5. We don’t fly our thermal drones on sunny days, you can’t do an adequate job in sunny conditions.
6. We can and do fly a lot of night flights the months that there is no foliage on the trees and that take place in the country.
7. Thermal drones are a tool not a guarantee you will find your pet.
8. We will NEVER ask for money before we arrive if anyone does, they are not associated with us and are almost guaranteed to be a scam. NEVER give anyone money before showing up or to someone who says they found your pet and need money for vet expenses. These are common scams that are out there.
