Drone Animal Rescue

When a beloved pet or valuable livestock goes missing, time is everything.
At LandSight Drones, we use advanced thermal imaging technology to locate missing animals quickly and accurately — even in the dark.

Our FAA-certified pilot is trained for precision searches and operates state-of-the-art drones that detect body heat signatures invisible to the naked eye. Whether it’s a family dog, farm animal, or wildlife concern, we’re ready to respond with professionalism and care.

How Does It Work?

1️⃣ We Arrive Ready to Fly

Our team arrives with a powerful thermal drone equipped with advanced sensors that detect your animal’s body-heat signature from the air.
We can launch day or night (thermal is most effective at night or near dawn/dusk when ground temperatures are cooler).

Note on coverage: Thermal can see well in open areas, fields, and light brush. Dense tree canopy, tall crops, hot surfaces (sun-warmed rocks/roofs), or high winds can reduce detection range. We adjust altitude, flight paths, and camera settings to give you the best possible chance under the conditions.

2️⃣ We Search Efficiently

Each search includes a minimum of 2.5 hours of dedicated flight time.
We cover as large an area as possible using real-time thermal imaging, GPS mapping, and visual verification.
You’ll be kept informed throughout the process, and we ask that owners or caretakers remain on-site to assist with identification if heat signatures are found.

3️⃣ We Locate and Guide You

If your pet is located, we’ll mark the exact GPS coordinates and guide you directly to their position.

How Much Does It Cost?

$270 - Standard Search (approximately 2.5 Hours)

*Locations beyond 45 minutes from Columbiana, Ohio may include a travel fee.*

What If My Missing Animal Is Not Found

While we can’t guarantee that every search will result in locating your missing animal, we do everything possible to maximize the chances of success. Each mission is handled with care, precision, and persistence — and our team will stay in communication throughout the process.

If your animal isn’t located during the initial search but a credible sighting is reported afterward, we’ll return for a follow-up search at no additional charge, based on our availability.

*Follow-up searches at no cost apply to local searches only.*

Your peace of mind matters to us. We approach every mission as if it were our own pet missing — because we know how much they mean to you.

How Thermal Imaging Works

Thermal drones detect heat signatures — differences in temperature between animals and their surroundings.

Warm-blooded animals like dogs, cats, or livestock show up as bright spots against cooler backgrounds, making them visible from the air.

Best Conditions for Detection:

Early morning, evening, or nighttime (cooler ground temps = higher contrast)
Open fields, trails, lawns, or light vegetation
Calm weather and dry ground

Limitations:

Dense tree canopy, tall crops, or thick brush can block line-of-sight
Hot surfaces (sun-baked roads, roofs, or rocks) can mask thermal differences
High humidity or strong wind can slightly reduce clarity

Even with these variables, our experience and equipment calibration maximize results in nearly any environment.
