Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat or dog, time matters, and the Jackson County Humane Society should hear about it right away. They maintain records of strays and found pets, and can help coordinate search efforts. For the fastest response and widest community reach, file a priority lost pet report with us.

Your report starts today. Your search doesn't end tomorrow.
The sooner you file, the sooner we route your loss to the right people and the sooner your item has a chance to be found and matched back to you. Once your report is in, you can breathe easy—we keep it active for months, working quietly in the background.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Newport can feel frustrating. Between the Police Department, the Sheriff's Office, local businesses, community groups, and social media, the places where lost items turn up are scattered across different systems. Most people end up calling around, posting everywhere, and then checking back manually for weeks, never knowing if they've reached the right people or if a match has already appeared somewhere they didn't think to look.
ReportLost simplifies that mess. One report, filed once, reaches the official channels, gets shared with your community, and stays active in the background for months, automatically matching your item against new finds so you don't have to. It's the fastest way to get in front of the right people and stay there until your item is back.

Whether you lost something downtown, at a local business, or on a community spot, here's where to look first—and how to report it
Downtown Newport & Main Street
Retail shops, restaurants, and the city center are common loss spots. Check with business owners first, then file an official report with Police to cast a wider net.
The White River & Waterfront Parks
Popular gathering spots for recreation. Items lost here often end up with local park staff or nearby residents. Report to Police if it's city property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Newport Police Department hold lost items?
Most items held by Police are kept for 30 to 90 days before disposal or donation. It's important to report your loss right away so they can log it and hold it longer if found. ReportLost ensures your description gets into their system quickly.
What if I lost something at a local business or restaurant?
Call the business directly first—they often hold lost items at the front desk or manager's office. If you're unsure where you lost it, we help you identify which businesses to contact and what to ask for.
Can the Jackson County Sheriff's Office help if I lost something?
Yes, especially if your loss occurred in unincorporated county areas. The Sheriff's Office can file a report and help coordinate with other agencies. Call (870) 523-5842 to describe your loss.
What should I do if I lost a pet in Newport?
Contact the Jackson County Humane Society immediately at (870) 512-9780. They maintain a registry of found animals. Also post on local Facebook pet groups and canvas the neighborhood. For the widest reach, file a lost pet report with ReportLost so we alert shelters, rescues, and social channels for you.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active and continues to match against new found items and community posts for your entire search period, either 12 months depending on which you choose. You'll get an alert as soon as a credible match appears, so you don't have to check back manually.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace the police report?
ReportLost is an independent service that speeds up the process of reporting to official channels and community groups. Filing with us doesn't replace a formal police report—it complements it by making sure your loss reaches Police, local businesses, social networks, and other recovery channels simultaneously, and then keeps searching for you automatically. We recommend filing both for maximum coverage.
