Testimonials

We are so overwhelmed with the support from this group, who voluntarily give up their time to offer support at such a worrying time.

Following a recommendation on FB, Kim & Kev immediately responded to my call and were out with us until the early hours with a thermal drone.

Kim set up a WhatsApp group, sent social media posts with daily updates and created posters.

Kim coordinated a team of volunteers who searched on foot and with drones and Voodo the tracker dog successfully picked up a trail from the scent on Suki's belongings. Suki was found safe and well after 5 days at a garage when they saw a poster and decided to look around.

We highly recommend Notts Lost Dogs SAR, thank all involved for being there to give us the hope we desperately needed and reassurance that a lot goes on behind the scenes and will donate to such a wonderful cause.

The team are absolutely amazing. The support and communication is brilliant. They always have a positive mindset and so much reassurance. They got the drones up as soon as they could to find our little one. They didn’t stop looking for her. Such lovely people.

Thank you so much for all your support and help I will always be grateful for the time and effort you put in to help find iz

We lost our dog today and contacted Notts Lost Dogs. Although we thankfully found her just as they arrived, we were so grateful for their fast response and kindness. What a fabulous service, we’ll be making a donation as a token of our gratitude.

Thank you for all that you do!

Invaluable advice today whilst looking for a missing dog, Kim was clear and concise with her advice and immediately shared information on social media to spread the word. We were so lucky to have found Marley within a couple of hours, she did exactly as Kim predicted and started to make her way back to the car. Thank you Kim and thank you to Alex for making his way to us with the drone. 

Vicky Pemberton

Oh wow, where to start. We lost our dog on Sunday 28th, and after 5 days of this amazing team working day and night to find her in all weather's including snow this morning, using drones, thermal drones, working dog, and thermal binoculars and devices with no sightings other than 3 in the whole time she was missing in all different locations of the large village, finally this afternoon one of the team managed to find her tangled in barbed wire, one of the team was bitten unfortunately but he was along with everyone else so so pleased and happy to have found and got her to safety. 

What an absolutely amazing team, we can't thank them enough they have gone above and beyond at all hours to help and support find our dog massive shout out to Kim, Kev and Jordan for long cold hours of searching past few days. Absolutely recommend this fabulous team, the best by far, they didn't stop till she was found … we couldn't have done it with out you!

I can not thank Kim enough for what she has done , it an utterly heart breaking situation I had no idea what to do . She kept me calm ( ish) gave fantastic logical advice and was on the phone to me even at midnight when we were looking for Liesl . By the morning we had a plan and thank goodness we managed to get her back. Thank you is too smaller a word,  Kim deserve to be recognised for her outstanding contribution to getting people’s pets returned.

Responded quickly to our need. Gave practical advice and produced a poster/flyer we could photocopy to spread the word. 

Were able to put up trigger cameras to ID dogs movements. 

Used drone when they were able to but adhered to No fly zone until permission had been granted. 

Manned by genuine dog lovers who care about the dogs and their owners. Keep the website updated so everyone is informed of progress. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Pauline Murphy

 Can’t thank this group of amazing volunteers enough for all their help, support, flyers they produced, tips they shared that helped us find our extremely nervous girl. There knowledge really is what helped us get through the searches being done by all who saw posts and then contacted with sightings.

It really is so lovely to see how as always when you need the community we live in they all appear and pull together, so,thank you to all those behind the seasons who helped to get our Millie back home.

I know we are extremely lucky to have had such an amazing outcome so quickly as a dog like our nervy girl could have gone to ground for a while or the unimaginable so these amazing volunteers really are as they say worth their weight in gold.

Wow ! What an amazing supportive group this is . We called upon them following a recommendation on FB after our rescue dog went missing on a regular walk . A very worrying and traumatic day for both us and our beloved dog . Kim and team sprung straight into action after getting our call and spent all of Sunday afternoon and early evening helping us and supporting us to find her . She was found in thick under growth in the local woods and was safe and well . We were so supported by them , launching posts on social media , quietly searching the woods where she went missing and keeping our spirits up when we felt so very worried . Thank you so much for all you did and all you do , the work you do is so appreciated .

Yesterday we had the heartbreak of our 3 dogs escaping of the garden and going running off, unfortunately one of them was our 11 week old pup! Notts lost dogs got in touch with me straight away, got their information and was out with us within the hour. They put the drone up and did everything they could. The 2 big dogs came home on their own but we could not find the pup. They set up motion cameras at our house and were still keeping in touch with us at midnight. We came home and tried to sleep and went out at first light and luckily we spotted the pup and managed to get him home.  Kim was in touch first thing with us asking how we were doing and saying they were going to come back out to us with the thermal drone but luckily it wasn’t needed as we had just found him. 

I cannot thank her and Kev enough for all the help and support they gave us at the most difficult time.  Cannot recommend these guys enough they are fantastic.  Thank you from us and the 3 terrors.

Kate Green

We were contacted by Notts lost dogs as soon as they saw my missing post. We had constant contact through the night, great advice and lots of reassurance! We can't thank you enough! xx

When Max went missing, we were desperate, scared, and unsure where to turn. Then we found Kim and her incredible team. From the very first moment, they treated Max’s disappearance as if it were their own loss. They took the time to search alongside us, offered gentle but practical advice, and never stopped encouraging us when things felt hopeless. Their compassion, dedication, and genuine care were beyond anything we expected they gave us strength when we needed it most. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Drone to Home, who left us feeling dismissed and unimportant. Kim and her team reminded us that there are still truly caring people out there, and we will forever be grateful for everything they did to help bring Max home.

Claire Watson

We cannot thank Notts Lost Dogs – SAR enough for reuniting us with our beloved Honey, after she had been missing for 10 long and worrying days. From the very first moment we reached out, the team was incredibly reassuring and gave us the hope we so desperately needed.

They worked tirelessly, day and night, using every tool and skill at their disposal – from searching on foot to deploying drones, cameras, traps, and even their amazing sniffer/tracker dog. Their dedication, professionalism, and compassion shone through every step of the way.

A very special thank you to Kim, Kevin, Sue, Jenny, Tim and the incredible Voodoo, your hard work and determination brought our family back together, and we will be forever grateful.

If anyone is ever in the heart breaking position of losing their pet, I cannot recommend this team highly enough. They truly are heroes.

Katy Hollis

I’ve had the best experience with Kim and everyone involved in getting my baby home. 

This was the most stressful and lonely experience but they made it so much easier! 

From the best tips and tricks, to reminding me to eat and sleep! 

I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you did for me.

Brilliant experience with notts lost dogs. I was speaking with Kim and she was so reassuring in my time of worry and stress and was extremely knowledgeable on all the things and procedures to do! Very skilled team and resources such as tracking team and drones I was very impressed and I’m so so thankful for all their help! 

Millie Short

When my daughter messaged me this morning to say her dog had disappeared on a walk, my first thought was 'keep calm and call Kim'. No call centre or leaving messages, Kim was on hand straight away with good tips and advice. Luckily the naughty boy stayed nearby and eventually went back to her (near to where he went missing). thanks for the great advice, keeping calm and being so helpful. Would recommend Notts Lost Dogs SAR as a first point of contact and glad your number is stored on my phone xxx

Nicola Arnold

100% recommend, went above and beyond to find my dads dog and to reunite them - countless messages and phone calls to keep us updated a special thank you to Kim she’s amazing !!!

Reah Kenny

I can’t thank Notts lost dogs enough. The information and timely replies helped to calm our anxiety. A phone call and even following up the next day to check on our dog. 

Thank you so much! Highly recommend xx

Kellie Tillery

I honestly can't thank these guys enough! They did more today than other reputable agencies and got our baby boy home safely. They gave me all instructions and advice to follow checked in on me consistently throughout the day chased up all leads and because of this my boy is home safe and sound. So grateful!
