The reason
for us requesting all this information before we agree to help
you is because we average about 4 calls a day between missing
persons and or lost pets from around teh world. We prioritize
our missions. We're an International Search and Rescue Team.
This means we respond ANYWHERE on planet earth.
So please no
more questions such as "Do you provide service in New York, or
LA, Ca.? the obvious answer is YES.
Once' you've sent us the info we requested by email and then
texted the 503-705-0258 then, and only then call and leave a
message on our office # at 360-414-8093.
We're trying to cut back on the # of incoming and outgoing calls
to our office and cellular phones. You can help us help you by
following our guidelines.
Here's our fee schedule.
Travel costs.
If we're driving, we charge $25.00 per hour (each
way) from Longview, Washington to your location and back. We
also charge for the cost of fuel, meals, motels, any other
travel expenses.
If it's a
short travel and search to and from Portland, Ore. or Seattle,
Washington, you will not usually be asked to pay for any motel
costs. We'll give you an estimate of what the search will cost
before you sign the contract.
Search fees
are $50.00 per fifteen minutes of searching. Most pet searches
last between five minutes and two hours.
Most person searches last between 30 minutes and 6 hours.
You must sign
a contract for services before we respond.
We accept
cash only in US Currency. No credit cards or checks of any kind
are accepted.
Flying. We
fly first class only to and from the search
site. (Unless it's a helicopter flight or a small fixed wing
aircraft, or the flight is less then 2 hours.
We fly out
of Portland, Oregon. We fly all airlines except SW airlines as
they openly discriminate against service animals and search and
rescue dogs.
You must
follow our instructions above and email and text us. Contact our
coordinator, obtain and complete a contract for services, then
you must pay for our airfare and make reservations for the
search and rescue dog to fly IN CABIN with the search and rescue
dog handler.
You must also
make reservations at a motel / hotel.
Send us the
confirmation codes for the airlines ticket and the motel
reservations. The room must be 100% non smoking. LaQuinta is a
great motel for our search dog teams.
We'll need
transportation from the airport to the motel and then to the
search area and back again. Unless we rent a vehicle.
Person
transporting the search dog team(s) must be a NON SMOKER, and at
no time will he / she transport our search dog team(s) with any
of the transporters pet(s) on board the same vehicle at the time
of transport.
It's not a bad idea to bring along a blanket or large towel for
the search dog(s) to lay on while being transported.
We average between 550 and 750 calls a year. With you providing
the above information in the listed format, you will help us
help you bring closurer to your case. We have a 99% success
ratio of either finding the victim, or finding out what happened
to them, picked up, killed, where this occured, etc. We have 25
years of experience providing professional SAR and K9 SAR
services. We can track a scent trail up to a year from when the
person(s) or Pet(s) disappeared. We've documented several
successes on our web site with this time line. If this is a
missing person(s) or Pet(s) request during a major disaster,
tornado, fire, flood, hurricane, earthquake, please follow the
above listed guidelines and we'll work with you on our fees and
travel expenses.
Thank you
Respectfully
Mr. Harry Oakes
SAR Coordinator.
