Lost Pet Detection

If you have lost your pet, perhaps I can help.
My Bloodhound, Ellie Mae is the only Certified Trailing Bloodhound in the State of California used to help locate missing pets. She has had hundreds of finds.
Apache, my Jack Russell Terrier has also had numerous "walk up"
finds.
Glory, my second Bloodhouund has proved crucial in
establishing a Direction of Travel (DOT) and locating evidence and/or eye witnesses. She has been responsible for many "walk up" finds in the past months.
The Search Dogs are ONE tool we use when a pet goes missing. Sometimes they are crucial in the recovery of a pet and sometimes our other techniques used in combination with the Search Dogs are highly effective.
My service is designed to establish a DOT and target a search area. From there, we give you an aggressive and strategic plan of action to help recover your pet. For example, I find 72% of people are focusing in the wrong direction wasting valuable search time.
I have trained with Bloodhound Coalition Members, volunteer Sheriff K9 handlers and California Rescue Dog Association/Area Search and Trailing Dog personnel. I have trained extensively with Kat Albrecht; an award winning Bloodhound handler. I am a member of the National Search Dog Alliance and a former member of the NSDA Education Committee. I have been called out to find missing petsby Riverside Sheriff Department personnel, major pet outlets, celebrities, veterinarians, and a major motion picture television studio.
In February 2008, I was a Guest Speaker at the 80th Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas where over 13,000 veterinarians and staff participated. I have been asked to speak at the July 2009 American Veterinary Conference in Seattle regarding my work as a pet detective.
Ellie Mae and I have passed a difficult Certification test given by retired police Bloodhound handler, Kat Albrecht (www.missingpetpartnership.org). Kat has been a Search & Rescue Manager and is very well known in the Search Dog community. She also is a published author.

DISPLACED FROM A MOVE
Kai, an indoor only cat that had just moved with his family has slipped outside on 5/18/09. There were no calls, sightings or leads in 5 days. I was called in with the Search Dogs on 5/23/09. The dogs all led to a similar area in a field two blocks away which backed up to the 118 freeway. A plan of action was given to the owners. The owners followed my plan and three days later on 5/28/09, he was sighted just beyond the target area. Kai had gotten about 1/2 mile from his home.
Kai was found last night! My girlfriend is very very happy. Thank you SO MUCH...we were losing hope. He was in the exact direction your dogs led, but further away...it seems he may have crossed the 118 freeway or a very major street to end up where he did...unbelieveable. david.saldena.1@gmail.com

Persistence pays off!

You and Annalisa are the best!
Our cat, Simba was found after two and a half months because of Landa's efforts and encouragement. Her search dogs didn't find his body and she told us how and where to put up posters. We didn't give up, as she advised, and eventually we received a phone call from the people who had been feeding him. They had seen one of the posters. Simba had traveled 2/3 of a mile, and past two major streets. Landa had said that we shouldn't underestimate how far he could travel, and she was right. Simba is back at home and we couldn't be more thrilled to see him again. Thanks!!!
