We Find the Lost and Bring Them Home

Emergency thermal drone missing pet search and animal rescue across the South Carolina Midlands. Don't blindly wander the woods. Our commercial thermal sensors quickly locate lost dogs and cats hidden in dense brush

Our No-Find, No-Fee Commitment

When your family member is missing in the woods, the last thing you should worry about is financial risk. We are so confident in our enterprise thermal technology that if our drone flights do not successfully locate your missing pet's heat signature, your deployment fee is 100% waived. Zero hesitation. Zero financial risk.

Overcoming the Limits of Traditional Foot Searches

When a dog breaks out of a yard or slips a collar in a park, our natural instinct is to gather a search party and walk the woods. Unfortunately, heavy South Carolina undergrowth, thick timber canopies, and rugged ravine terrain make it incredibly easy to walk right past a hiding, terrified animal.

Lionheart Drone Recovery changes the equation. Instead of fighting through thorns and thick brush on foot, our FAA Part 107-certified commercial pilots deploy thermal drones that fly safely above the canopy.

A scared animal runs harder

Operational Boundaries & Requirements

To maintain safety and comply with aviation standards, our thermal rescue flights are subject to a few strict operating conditions:

- Weather Factors: We cannot fly in active, heavy downpours or sustained high winds.

- Temperature Differentials: Thermal imaging works best when there is a clear difference between the animal's body temperature and the ground temperature. Because of this, summer emergency searches are highly optimized for late evening, night, and early morning hours when the ground cools down.
