"I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who were as happy as I was when my fur kids were safely back home.  This would never have happened without  Karin TarQwyn and her tracking dog team who ultimately found Hunter and Robin 25 miles away... after missing for nine weeks!  Thank you."

Words cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am for your unbelievable support and help in bringing my beloved pug, Nugget, home to me. You are a one of a kind. Thank you."

 K9 Cade found Abby in 20 minutes after missing for 11 days.


"Karin... My name is Frank Fraone. You began your search at for Abby near my home on Wednesday. First I want to thank you very much for finding her. We had searched for days and even at night using thermal imaging cameras and search parties with fire fighters and LE officers. I have worked with search dogs for years through the FEMA US&R program but you and your dogs are amazing.  Thank you so much."

From the Division Fire Chief - Menlo Park Fire Department in California

"Karin, I just wanted to take a minute to get back with you on how much we appreciated your help through the dark hours when our dogs went missing. I take a certain measure of pride for doing things in a practical and reasonable way, but the ways in which I tried to search for our dogs certainly were not. I relied on little more than old wives tales on how to search for pets. I was fortunate to have found you & the ways that you suggested we look for our lost family members made sense.

There's a lot of things I would do differently. Hiring you sooner is the first on that list. Thanks again,."
