Fundraising for a Thermal Drone

Sussex SAR for Lost Dogs CIC helps to reunite Missing pets. We are run by volunteers and without the help and support of our local and surrounding communities we couldn’t provide the service that we offer. We offer our services 24/7 365 days a year.

We provide help and advice, and we provide ground support and drone support when needed.

All the equipment we use doesn’t come cheap, but with the benefits in particular of us using WIFI Trail Cameras for remote monitoring in difficult locations and large traps for nervous unsure dogs is worth every penny when it comes to quickly retrieving Missing pets and then reuniting them to their owners safely.

We have found in excess of 650 dogs and reunited them back with their owners. We do this voluntarily and don't get no funding.

We have setup this fundraiser to help us purchase the DJI Enterprise Thermal Imaging Drone; these are not cheap and cost around £6000.00 for the full package, which includes 3 extra batteries. This in any situation means we can have the drone up in the air for longer each search we attend.

Whilst our personal drones are suitable in certain situations, more and more dogs take shelter during the day and our current drones don't have enhanced cameras or zoom features to be able to find them in daylight.

With the new thermal drone we can use the thermal imaging to find and locate missing or lost dogs in any situation that we are out searching in. whether that is day or night time.

We are looking to raise enough funds to buy the DJI Enterprise Thermal drone, to continue helping others to find their missing dogs.
