Know exactly where to turn and what to expect.
Centerville Police Department
The police department accepts lost and found reports and maintains records of items turned in. If your loss involved theft or a public space, a formal police report can help. We tell you which non-emergency line to call and what information to have ready.
City of Centerville
City Hall may hold items lost in municipal buildings or parks, and can direct you to the right department depending on where you lost something. We help you figure out which city service to contact first.
Lost & Found Pets
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, Houston County Animal Control and the Humane Society of Houston County are your first stops. They maintain shelter records and respond to lost pet reports. For the fastest community alert and to file a priority lost pet report, we'll connect you to both.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Items found early stay organized and documented longer. Once you've filed your report with us, your search goes on automatically—our team keeps your loss visible across police records, shelters, and local community channels for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Centerville can feel scattered. The police have their system, animal shelters operate independently, and community members post on Facebook and Nextdoor without a central way to connect them all. If your item isn't found in the first few days, the trail goes cold fast—and nobody's actively looking anymore.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report replaces the need to call multiple departments, post to different groups, and check community channels daily. We route your loss to every relevant local service, keep your report circulating through established networks, and alert you the moment someone finds a match. Once filed, you can breathe easy while we keep searching for you.
