Sharing from our friends at Pet Search Alliance Mid-Ohio Valley. We have flown two thermal drone searches for Kasey now, one Friday evening and another Saturday morning after the overnight rain gave us near-perfect thermal conditions. We cleared a lot of ground and ruled out a lot of yards and woods, which is genuinely useful, but the dog is still out there.
The search area is the North Hills neighborhood in Marietta, specifically around Colegate Dr, Cisler Dr, Merryhill St, Hillcrest Dr, and Glendale Rd, including the streets near Central Christian Church.
When thermal flights come up empty in conditions that good, that tells us something. Kasey is almost certainly tucked into a covered spot where the drone simply cannot see her. Porch. Patio. Under a deck. Inside an open shed. Behind stacked firewood. Crawl space. Garage that got left cracked. Scared dogs go small, dark, and quiet, and they stay there.
If you live anywhere in North Hills, this is the ask. Walk your property. Actually walk it. Look under the deck with a flashlight. Open the shed. Peek behind the bushes and the AC unit. Check the crawl space access. Look under the porch. If you have a Ring or security cam, scrub the last 36 hours of footage. Even one frame of a white dog passing through gives PSA a direction to work from.
Kasey is not from this neighborhood. She is staying with a temporary caregiver, does not know the area, and is genuinely lost and frightened. She is not going to come when you call. Do not chase. Just note where you saw her, which way she was headed, and call it in.

After 12 days missing from the North Hills area of Marietta, KASEY HAS BEEN FOUND. Monday, May 5, 2026. She is safe and on her way to a reunion with her owner and a vet check.
The video below is the moment of capture inside our smart Missy trap with remote trigger. More video and the full story to come.
Last evening, a critical tip came in that confirmed Kasey’s location. MOV Drone Workz launched air support and from a high observation altitude, where she could not hear the drone, we were able to watch her from above for roughly an hour and a half. She was quiet, alert, and still extremely skittish. The slightest sound caused her to jerk and dart, which confirmed what we had suspected throughout the search: this dog needed a quiet, no-pressure recovery.
We held our humane box trap on site overnight. Kasey approached it three times but was too shy of the enclosure to commit. With that information in hand, we dispatched the Missy trap system this morning. It was set up by 9 AM. By 11:30 AM, Kasey was secured and in good hands.
She is on her way home.
Thank you, Marietta, and thank you to every person who shared this case, walked their property, checked a camera, sent a tip, posted a yard sign for a neighbor, or pushed this case to a friend in North Hills. Twelve days is a long search. It only ended because the community refused to let it go.
A special thank you to every donor who has supported Pet Search Alliance Mid-Ohio Valley. The Missy trap, the Vosker cellular trail cameras, the air support, the field equipment, none of it exists without you. Today’s recovery is a direct return on the generosity of this community.
