Tail Waggers Pet Search & Rescue

They got her!
Missing 6 days, Jai has been found.
I was 10 minutes from departing HQ to attempt a second thermal imaging drone search when I got the call.
Jai was lost in an unfamiliar area to her. Seems she found a safe spot near a small pond and the owners were able to "anchor" her there, with food and scent lures leading back to a live trap.
I'll have more info/pics to share soon...
Once again, many volunteers made this happen. Many of them strangers to the family. All very much appreciated.

Jai is back in loving arms!

Percy is Back!
After being frightened from fireworks this senior dog must have decided it was safe to return and showed up at the family cabin. Big Thanks to Sue Bouma and her dog Poe. They were just about on-site to begin a track for Percy when the call came in.

Welcome back Percy!

Update: POSSIBLE sighting last night (Monday) in Kendall near the Fire Hall. Unconfirmed if this is Percy though it is a lead being pursued.

Maple Falls/Silver Lake, WA BOLO for Percy.
A Senior Border Collie/Mix fellow that was spooked by fireworks on July 4th and went into the surrounding forest. Senior dogs are double special in my heart. Should you be out enjoying the summer weather on Silver Lake and the surrounding trails and see him, try and note the GPS location and please call the number on the flyer and help bring him home!

Kai is back! I flew for 4 hours in the wee hours this morning. Unfortunately I did not locate him, with plans to return tomorrow morning.
A staff member at Pilchuck School of Glass did locate him today and was able to get him back to his owner.

Welcome back Kai!
Happy Ending!

Stanwood, WA BOLO for Kai. A missing Bright White colored Golden Retriever. Kai got spooked while hiking near the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, WA. He may be dragging a retractable leash. Most likely he has bedded down nearby.

An early morning thermal imaging drone search is scheduled for Monday July 6th. Please call should you see Kai and help bring him home!

Rowdy is a local Celebrity!
Here is a link to the story.

I searched, along with many, on 3 separate occasions and yes, hope can start to fade.

I did not locate Rowdy though another drone operator did.
The utility of Thermal Imaging Drones cannot be dismissed while searching for missing pets.

Should you wish to know more about my drone and the drone used to locate Rowdy, search on YouTube: DJI Matrice 30T.

Welcome back Rowdy!

Rowdy, where could you possibly be?
This is the track of my 4 hour search this morning.
The area is closer to home for Rowdy. We were hoping he was trying to make it back to the barn. No such luck.
