We are the Isle of Man’s dedicated search & rescue charity using thermal drone technology to bring lost pets home.
Noodle’s Canine Rescue was founded on the Isle of Man to provide a dedicated, professional search and rescue service for missing dogs. What started as a passionate response to a local need has grown into the Island’s only charity using advanced thermal drone technology to locate lost pets — often in the most challenging terrain and conditions.
In early 2026 we achieved official charitable status (No. 1387), allowing us to expand our reach, train more volunteers, and invest in life-saving equipment.
Our DJI Matrice 4T drones with high-resolution thermal imaging allow us to detect heat signatures in woodland, coastal cliffs, and at night — dramatically increasing the chances of finding lost dogs quickly and safely.
We work hand-in-hand with trained volunteers, K9 handlers, and members of the public. Our zone mapping system and radio protocols ensure safe, efficient multi-team searches across the Island.
When a dog goes missing, time is critical. We maintain a ready-response team and equipment so we can deploy quickly — often within hours of a report being received.
