Where to report your loss in Safford
Whether you've lost a wallet at a shop, left your phone on a bus, or your pet has gone missing, here's who holds what and how to connect.
Safford Police Department
The police are your first point of contact for lost items reported in public spaces or businesses. They keep a lost and found log and can provide advice on next steps. We make sure your report gets to the right desk and includes all the details they need.
City of Safford
The city's main office handles certain administrative lost and found inquiries and can direct you to the right department. We generate the exact information you need to include when reaching out.

Items left on school buses are held at the bus barn. Call ahead to check if your lost item has been turned in, or visit in person during business hours to claim it.
Graham County Animal Shelter
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, contact the shelter immediately. They maintain a registry of lost and found animals and can help reunite you with your pet. We can point you to the right procedures and advise on how quickly to report. For urgent help, file a priority lost pet report.
