Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim iString As String = "cats=123" & vbCrLf & "dog=456"
    Dim q1 = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(iString, "^dog=")
    If q1.Success Then
        Debug.Print("found")
    Else

    End If
End Sub

You had it almost ok, you just need an option to treat the input as multi line:

Dim q1 = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(iString, "^dog=", RegexOptions.Multiline)
