Animal Control & Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Vincennes, contact Animal Control immediately. They work with the local shelter and community networks to reunite lost animals with their owners. We notify them right away and monitor local pet recovery groups on your behalf. Need a dedicated pet-focused report? File a priority lost pet report.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Vincennes means contacting the police department, checking with the city, visiting animal control if it's a pet, and scanning Facebook groups yourself. It's fragmented, time-consuming, and easy to miss a match. ReportLost brings all of that together in one place.
File a single report with us, and we notify the right local authorities and community channels on your behalf. Better yet, your report doesn't go dormant after a week.
