Find lost dogs with thermal imaging drone!

Donation protected
Passionate about animals, I am a dedicated volunteer at my local town animal shelter. Having participated in several searches for lost dogs, I understand the heartbreak families experience when their pets go missing. I am also a FAA-certified drone pilot as well as a licensed private pilot.

Our dogs are more than pets; they are cherished family members, bringing immense joy into our lives. When a beloved dog goes missing, traditional search methods can be slow and ineffective, causing distress for families and many times ending in heartbreaking outcomes.

I am looking to employ a very special drone to assist with local pet rescue searches. The DJI Matrice M30-T drone is a highly capable search and rescue drone that leverages a state-of-the-art thermal imaging camera to detect the heat signature of a wandering pet. It is capable of both day and night missions as well as having the ability to fly in rainy conditions.

Once the lost animal is identified, the drone can automatically track it and provide a precise location to the remote pilot who will relay this real-time information to other ground-based searchers.

Please donate today so that we can acquire this equipment and start reuniting our lost friends with their families! The initial coverage area will be in Fairfield County, CT.

Together, Let's Bring Lost Dogs Back Home!

What will the money be used for? Here's a snapshot of initial costs:
