the equipment
BUILT TO FIND WHAT OTHERS MISS
This drone isn't just any off-the-shelf toy aircraft. It's equipped with professional-grade tools designed specifically for low-light search operations and precision documentation.
THERMAL IMAGING
Detects body heat in total darkness, dense brush, and tall grass invisible to the naked eye.
HIGH-ZOOM CAMERA
Crystal-clear optical zoom captures fine detail from altitude — positively identify your pet from the air.
BRIGHT SPOTLIGHTS
Powerful onboard lights illuminate the search area for night operations and visual confirmation.
AI DETECTION
Onboard AI assists in identifying animals and people in real time, speeding up every search.
WHY DRONE SEARCH
SEE WHAT NO ONE
ELSE CAN SEE
A ground search covers a fraction of the area in a fraction of the time. A drone search with thermal imaging changes everything — especially at night.
Non-disruptive - won't spook a hiding or frightened pet
Thermal imaging detects body heat in tall grass, brush, and total darkness
Cover large areas fast - acres in minutes vs hours on foot
Available 24/7 - night searches work best when surroundings are cooler
Proven Results - Drew has reunited families with lost pets across North Texas

HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR SEARCH
what you can do
Whether you've called me or not, these steps dramatically improve the chances of a safe reunion. Start them immediately — every minute matters.
01
ACT IMMEDIATELY
The first 24 hours are crucial. Call us as soon as possible so we can search before your pet travels too far or hides.
02
SEARCH CLOSE TO HOME
Check your property, vehicles, sheds, porches, crawl spaces, and under decks. Many frightened pets hide nearby.
03
STAY CALM & QUIET
Loud voices and crowds can drive an anxious animal further away. Move slowly and speak softly when searching.
04
LEAVE FAMILIAR SCENTS
Place your pet's bed, blanket, or worn clothing outside. For cats, add their litter box. For dogs, leave an open crate or familiar vehicle.
05
SET OUT FOOD & WATER
Use familiar food smells to encourage your pet to stay nearby. Avoid food that may attract wildlife.
06
ALERT YOUR COMMUNITY
Post on Facebook, Nextdoor, and PawBoost. Talk to neighbors — sightings help us plan drone routes more effectively.
07
HAVE INFO READY
Name, breed, color, size, collar, last known location, and behavior notes (friendly, skittish, medical issues).
08
PREPARE FOR ARRIVAL
Choose a flat, clear area for drone takeoff. Keep other pets and bystanders indoors so we can operate safely.
09
STAY AVAILABLE
Be ready to accompany Drew as we check your area with the drone. He'll have a monitor ready so you can follow along in the search.
Not sure if you need us? Call anyway - Drew will discuss your situation and help determine the best course of action, even if that means you don't use drone services..
