With over 40 years of hands-on experience, Gotcha Recovery & Rescue is the result of our founder’s lifelong dedication to the well-being of animals.
What began as a deep love for all creatures has grown into a trusted and compassionate trapping and recovery service that operates with skill, care, and heart. Our founder has spent decades working with animals in every environment — from busy urban streets to open rural fields — learning the nuances of animal behavior, fear, and survival that guide every successful recovery mission.
Our mission is simple: reunite pets with the families who love them. What sets us apart is the passion behind the work—a genuine understanding of animal behavior, a commitment to ethical practices, and a promise to treat every pet as if they were our own. Whether it's a scared dog hiding in the woods, a cat navigating unfamiliar territory — or any pet or stray — we are there, every step of the way.
At Gotcha Recovery & Rescue, when we work with families, it’s not just an animal that’s lost — it’s a beloved member of the family who is lost. That’s why every case is approached with empathy, patience, and a custom strategy designed to bring beloved pets home safely. We prioritize keeping families closely involved by assigning tasks to alleviate their anxiety, empowering them to feel in control rather than panicked about their missing pet, fostering hope for a successful reunion. Our approach incorporates scent tracking, surveillance, and advanced methodologies to accurately determine the pet's location. Once the "track" is identified, we employ feeding stations as lures and, when necessary, utilize the most suitable traps and equipment, all meticulously tailored to the specific circumstances of each recovery.
At Gotcha Recovery & Rescue, we consider our work to be more than a service; it’s a calling. We are proud to serve pets and their families with experience, compassion, and a never-surrender attitude that has helped bring countless lost companions back home where they belong.
