This is for on-site searches with a
trained search dog for dog and cats
and other pets, large and small.
This service would be for newly lost pets for less
than one week, including stolen pets. This would
also be used for fresh sightings of pets lost for
more than one week. If the pet has been missing for
more than a week, then see the section Cold Case
Investigations."

$.75 per mile
Phone and email consultations
(available nationwide)
This service would be for newly lost pets when a
physical, on-site search if not possible. This
includes a full behavioral profile of your pet and
the individual situation to help you focus your
resources in the proper direction.
For cold cases for pets missing more than two
weeks, please see section "Cold Case
Investigations."
Fee:
$25 for each hour (one hour minimum)
Cold Case Investigations
This type of case would be for pets who have been
lost for more than two weeks, either lost or stolen.
I would perform a thorough review of the case
from beginning to present time including:
1. Review exactly what has been done in the
current search.
2. Make sure fliers and posters are updated and
still current.
3. Review shelter records of all the animals who
have come and left during the time your pet has
been missing.
4. Make sure your case remains current at all
shelters in your area, public and private.
5. Perform a review of the physical area with maps
to review the different routes your pet could have
taken and where to put posters and distribute fliers.
6.Post online to rescue groups and various lost pet
websites to keep your fliers current.
7. Consider the option your pet has
been removed from the present search area and
then decide the next steps to take like extending the
search area and poster and flier distribution.
8. Bring a search dog back into the area to look for
animal remains that may be hidden. This would be
a final option if a thorough review and update of
the case still does not yield any results.
