After being hit by a car on his 2nd day missing he went to ground until he was spotted 5 days later in a field. We searched with tracker dogs, drones and on foot with no sign of him. He was then spotted again on Saturday 5th Sept laying in a hay field. We put cameras out with food and set the trap. Sunday he came to the camera with food and spent an hour hoovering it up then disappeared. We rebaited the camera and moved the trap closer and waited.
At around 9pm he appeared and again ate all the food at the camera wandering round and coming back to check he hadn’t missed any. Then he disappeared for a couple of hours and reappeared at 11.40pm at the trap. A tense wait whilst he wandered round it and went in and out before finally stepping on the plate and it closed!
Welcome home Murphy!
Thank you to the community of Nether Langwith for sharing and helping to search. Thank you to LDTN Notts & Derby, The Drone Ranger, Murphy’s family and our volunteers for the hours put in to helping get him home safe.

After spending two days underground in a disused sett we were able to dig Cello out.
We could actually hear him about 2 foot down crying and barking for several hours before we were allowed to go ahead and rescue him.
Thank you to Newark Fire Brigade, Natural England, Notts Police, Helen (landowner) and numerous other badger groups for advice.

Nala is safe, 4 weeks to the day she went missing! Not one sighting since the night she bolted until we had a call of a definite sighting not too far from where we had been searching and had a camera up. A farm across the road and a few fields away. We searched that night and put a camera and food up but nothing was seen overnight. Then Lesley rang to say she was there again wandering around the farm yard. We arranged to go over with more cameras and a trap and put up the drone. After an hour or so a guy living in one of the houses on the farm realised we were there and said he’d got her in his kitchen. He’d seen her when he got home from work and followed her into his garden and managed to catch her by his pond. After 4 weeks she is skin and bone and probably wouldn’t have lasted much longer. She went straight to the emergency vets.
Thank you to Lesley, Stuart and all the guys at Goodhouse Farm for keeping an eye on her and to Martin at Eastfield Glamping for letting us search on his land for two weeks.
Archie was spotted by our drone chilling against some wire fencing. The hard part was getting to him. Climbing a chained barbed wire fence with the owner we walked slowly towards him. Archies owner went ahead and got low, talking to him all the time. It took a good 5 minutes of indecision before he barked and then bounded towards his mum.
This is just a glimpse of what we do to help reunite lost dogs with their families.
There aren’t enough words to thank Kim and her team for everything they did when our beagle went missing from family while we were on holiday.
He was hit by a car on the second day he was missing and then there were no sightings for 5 days. They never gave up on him, even when we were starting to lose hope. I still cannot believe we got him back safe after 10 days and that is all thanks to Notts lost dogs.
The fact these people do what they do out of the kindness of their hearts at all hours of the day still amazes me.

I lost my daughters Dachshund in the evening in Blidworth woods, the next day Notts Lost Dogs swung into action. There were sightings but she ran away from contact by perseverance and great communication she was isolated to a section of the adjacent Samson Wood and rescued.
Massive thanks to Kim and her wonderful volunteers for three days of huge effort to find a scared and evasive little dog.

When one of my dogs disappeared on a normal countryside walk, I wasn't particularly concerned. But, for the first time ever he just didn't return.
Kim of Notts Lost Dogs sent a message offering to help and quickly became involved with amazing dedication.
Also thanks for other helpful advice from many of Kim's contacts. Keep up your amazing work Notts Dog Rescue SAR. I am so relieved to have my lovely dog home, safe & sound.

A heartfelt thank you to Notts Lost Dogs SAR.
We can’t thank Notts Lost Dogs SAR enough for all their help in finding our lost dog Poppy the other day. They gave up their own time to come out and help us search for her, and then, the following day, they came back with their drone to continue the search.
Their dedication, kindness and determination meant so much to us during such a worrying time. As a family, we are incredibly grateful for everything they did to help bring her home.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We truly appreciate you and everything you do.
