Our fees are structured to cover specialized equipment, professional expertise, and high-mileage vehicle maintenance, ensuring we remain ready for the next pet in need.
Phase 1: Professional Deployment & Strategy
The Goal: To identify where your pet is hunkering down, or which mode of travel they are using.
On-Site Setup: We provide professional mapping, scent-luring (rotisserie chicken and liquid smoke), and effective camera placement and remote camera monitoring.
Investment: Includes the $150.00 Professional Case Minimum (first 3 hours) plus the Operational Deposit (mileage at $0.725/mile and a $30.00 supply fee).
Phase 2: Passive Monitoring & Consultation
The Goal: 24/7 surveillance without the cost of on-site help.
Tech-Led Recovery: We utilize cellular trail cameras and feeding stations to track movement patterns.
Investment: To keep costs low for the owner, we waive the $50/hr labor fee during this phase. Clients cover a $20.00/day per camera maintenance fee, which funds cellular data subscriptions and high-capacity battery cycles.
Owner-Purchased Gear: If you choose to purchase your own cellular trail cameras and supplies (rotisserie chicken, lures, etc.), we recommend that you do so within the first two days of your search.
Phase 3: Recovery
The Goal: The safe capture and return of your pet.
Humane Traps/Enclosures: We set the trap and monitor the cameras.
Investment: Resumes the $50.00/hour professional rate plus mileage, tolls and supplies.
The Mission Subsidy (Hardship): If a mission exceeds 48 hours, Two Tunnels may provide assistance where the specialist’s $50/hr labor fee is waived.
Non-Negotiable Costs: Even when labor is gifted, the $0.725/mile vehicle fee and $30 supply fee must be covered to keep our recovery vehicle on the road and our traps baited.
