WHEN MORE HELP ISN'T ALWAYS BETTER

There's an old saying, "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth."

That certainly applies to lost pet recovery.

When a beloved pet goes missing, it's understandable that owners want as many people helping as possible. But lost pet recovery is not about how many people are involved. It's about having a coordinated, consistent plan based on the animal's behavior and the evidence available.

Too many voices, conflicting advice, and multiple people attempting different recovery methods can create confusion, disrupt progress, and potentially prolong a recovery.

This is especially concerning when working with a frightened dog in survival mode.

For this reason, I may respectfully decline to accept a case when I believe the circumstances or lack of coordination could compromise the missing pet's safety and well-being.

That decision is never about refusing to help an owner in need. It is about recognizing when the conditions necessary for safe, responsible recovery are not in place. This isn't saying anything negative towards anyone else.

I respect an owner's right to choose who they work with, just as I have a responsibility to determine whether I can safely and effectively contribute to a recovery.

The missing pet's safety and well-being must always come first and sometimes that is me respectfully declining a case.

WHY DRONES MAY MISS A LOST PET

Hiding: Under bushes, vehicles or structures

Heat: Hot pavement and rocks can obscure thermal images

Movement: Drone noise may cause a frightened pet to hide

Visibility: Trees, rooftops and other obstacles block the view

NO DRONE SIGHTING DOES NOT MEAN THE PET ISN'T THERE

On Weather Watch ...

As of Friday, October 9, 2026, at approximately 6:50 AM Arizona time, the latest National Weather Service forecast is becoming increasingly concerning for Mohave County, particularly Lake Havasu City, Yucca, Kingman, and the Colorado River corridor.

The main concern is a combination of heavy tropical rainfall, strong winds, and flash flooding from Tropical Storm Rachel.

Saturday October 10 - Moisture increases, with isolated showers possible during the day. Rain chances increase substantially late Saturday evening and overnight. Gusts may reach 34 mph overnight in Havasu.

Sunday, October 11 — highest concern
Widespread showers and thunderstorms, potentially heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Lake Havasu has a 90% chance of precipitation and forecast gusts up to 44 mph. Stronger localized thunderstorm gusts are possible.

Monday, October 12
Rainfall should decrease overall, although lingering showers, thunderstorms, and breezy conditions remain possible. Flash flooding may continue to affect washes and roads.

Saturday afternoon is the deadline to have everything secured, with preparations preferably completed today.

The highest-impact window currently looks to be late Saturday night through Sunday evening, October 10–11, with lingering impacts into Monday, especially around Yucca.

RESCUE vs. RECOVERY WORK

RECOVERY = the specialized process of locating, stabilizing and safely containing a missing, displaced, stray or elusive animal.

RESCUE = providing protection, care and placement for an animal that needs somewhere safe to go.

The term rescue is often used to describe almost anything involving helping an animal.

But lost pet recovery work is its own specialized field.

RESCUE generally focuses on getting an animal out of an unsafe situation and into safety, care, foster care or a permanent home.

RECOVERY begins when a pet is missing from the home it already has.

The goal is not to find the animal another home.

The goal is to get THAT pet safely back to THEIR family.

Recovery work may involve understanding survival-mode behavior, gathering and evaluating sightings, mapping movement, establishing feeding stations, using cellular cameras, developing scent strategies, humane trapping, trailing K9s and coaching owners on what to do—and sometimes what not to do.
And that distinction matters.

A frightened lost dog may not behave like a dog waiting to be “rescued.” Approaching, calling, following or attempting to catch that dog can sometimes cause it to flee farther.

That is where recovery strategy comes into play.

Rescue and recovery both save lives.

They simply do different jobs.

🐢 It’s that time of year again — Lost Tortoise Season.

Late summer and early fall can bring increased activity in both Desert Tortoises and Sulcatas.

🌧️ Rain and softer ground
🌱 Fresh vegetation
🐢 Increased movement and exploring
🏡 More opportunities to dig under or find weaknesses in enclosures

Every year around this time, we seem to see an increase in pet tortoises wandering away from home. This was always our busiest time trailing for lost tortoises with K9 Brina as we do trail for all lost pets not just dogs.

Now is a good time to walk your enclosure and check gates, fencing and areas where your tortoise may be able to dig underneath.

A little prevention can keep an adventurous tortoise safely at home. 🐢

LOST PET OWNERS — KNOW BEFORE YOU PAY !!!

When a pet goes missing, owners are frightened, exhausted and vulnerable and scammers know it.

Arizona law provides some important information pet owners should be aware of.
A.R.S. §33-1125 includes “all domestic animals or household pets” among protected personal items.

Arizona's Private Investigator statute, A.R.S. §32-2401, also specifically includes investigations involving the “location or recovery of lost or stolen property.”

And under A.R.S. §32-2411, a person may not act or represent themselves as a private investigator unless they meet Arizona's registration and licensed-agency requirements.

⚠️ This does not mean that everyone who charges for a lost-pet-related service is automatically required to be a Private Investigator. Different services and circumstances can fall under different rules.
It does mean you should slow down and verify before you pay.

Never send gift cards, deposits or electronic payments to a stranger simply because they claim they found your pet, know where your pet is, or can guarantee its recovery.
Ask questions. Ask for credentials. Verify claims independently.

A legitimate professional should have no problem telling you who they are, what service they provide, what training or licensing they have, and exactly what you are paying for.

A missing pet creates urgency. Don't let that urgency make you an easy target.
