Dogs and cats may act in different ways when they are lost. Pick your pet to call us now. When you return to this page, the matching search-check form will open.
Lost dog
My Dog Is Missing
A scared dog may run from people, even from family. Do not chase, shout, or crowd the dog. Stay calm. Note the exact spot and which way the dog went. We can use the last-seen path, open ground, brush edges, and safe flight areas to plan the search.
Lost cat
My Cat Is Missing
A lost cat may hide close to home and stay very quiet. It may not meow when you call. Look under porches, decks, sheds, cars, and thick bushes. Ask nearby homes to check garages. We can review nearby hiding areas that are safe and legal to scan from the air.
The first 24 hours
What to Do When Your Dog, Cat or Pet Goes Missing
Call as soon as you know your pet is gone. A fresh last-seen point gives us a smaller area to review. As time passes, your pet may move and the search area may grow. Starting early can improve the search plan, but no search can promise a find.
Write down the exact address or map pin, date, time, pet type, and any new sighting.
Report the pet lost and be ready to record each new sighting without chasing.

Local Thermal Drone Searches for Missing Dogs and Cats
Our West Palm Beach team reviews missing-dog and missing-cat cases across Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties. Send the exact last-seen point and time so we can check the route, search area, access, weather, airspace and availability before you pay.
How can a thermal drone help search for my missing dog or cat?
Sun State UAS uses thermal and visual drone cameras to check suitable search areas around the last-seen location. Open ground, brush edges, canal banks and larger parcels may be easier to check from the air. We review the location and conditions before recommending a search.
Where do you provide lost-pet drone searches?
Our team dispatches from West Palm Beach to eligible locations in Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties. The normal search area extends up to 150 one-way road miles from our dispatch point. Exact distance, access, airspace, weather and crew availability determine whether we can take a case.
Can a thermal drone see a pet under roofs or dense tree cover?
Roofs, dense tree cover, buildings and other obstructions can hide an animal from the camera. Heat, rain, wind, access and flight rules also affect the search. A drone search supports the search effort; it cannot guarantee a sighting or recovery.
What should I send, and how do I get a search quote?
Call or text (561) 562-4522 with your name, best callback number, pet type and photo, exact last-seen address or map pin, last-seen time and any newer sighting. The case review is free. We explain search fit, availability, scope and the exact quote before any agreement or payment.
