Lost Pet Detection

If you have lost your pet, perhaps I can help.  Ellie Mae is the only Certified Trailing Bloodhound in the State of California used to help locate missing pets.

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 on  the National Search Dog Alliance  Education Committee and am a member in good standing.  I have  been recognized by traditional Search and Rescue associations and have been called out by Riverside Sheriff Department personnel.  On February 21, 2008, I was a Guest Speaker at the 80th Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas where over 13,000 veterinarians participated.

Ellie Mae has been Certified by retired police Bloodhound handler, Kat Albrecht.  Kat has been a Search & Rescue Manager and is very well known in the Search Dog community.  She also is a published author.  Ellie Mae and Apache, my Jack Russell Terrier, are pictured in her new book "Dog Detectives."

My service is designed to narrow down and target your search area.  From there I  implement Search Management Techniques.  I also utilize Profiling, Search Theory & Probability, Ground Search & Rescue, and Animal Movement along with other tools.  I have been highly successful.  However, there is no guarantee.  I do not find every pet as many things can happen to a lost pet that are out of my control.  The Search Dogsare scent-based detection tools. Also, scent conditions must be factored in.  Heat, heavy car exhaust, pets doubling back on top of  their trail and freshly mowed/fertilized grass, are some things that can greatly affect a scent trail.

As of March 2008, our team has an official "find" rate of 83% for lost dogs.  Cats are a little lower at around 62%.  Both rates are extremely high.  Statistically, we more than double or triple the chance of  finding your pet.
