Waterways and bridges
Canals may change the route and slow the ground team. Visible banks may be useful, but water and trees can block the view.

What matters in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale has dense streets, tall buildings, heavy tree cover, bridges, busy roads, and about 165 miles of waterways inside the city. A missing pet may move along a canal, cross behind homes, or hide in a small green edge that is hard to check from the street.
The city also has busy airspace and limited launch areas. We use the exact pin to check airports, people below, buildings, property access, weather, and the safe search zone. If a drone is not the right tool, we say so.
Normal drive estimate: About 55–90 minutes. This is not a promised arrival time. Traffic, weather, airspace, crew status, and the exact address can change it.

Questions about a search in Fort Lauderdale
Can you fly in busy Fort Lauderdale airspace?
Sometimes a lawful plan is possible, but the exact pin and current conditions must be checked first.
Can thermal see through a roof or trees?
No. It cannot see through roofs, walls, thick trees, or deep brush.
What if the pet crossed a canal?
Tell us the last confirmed side and any new sighting. We may check visible banks and open ground where access and rules allow.
What if a drone search is not a good fit?
We will tell you before you pay. A ground search, shelter report, pet detective, camera, or tracking-dog service may fit better.
