We'll ensure your lost pet report reaches them immediately and stays active in the search network. File a priority lost pet report

You fill out one form with what you lost, and we notify the right local services, generate alerts for community channels, and keep your report actively searching for a match across the entire search period.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the police hold my lost item if found?
Falmouth Police Department holds found property, but retrieval is by appointment only. Call the non-emergency line (currently 508-548-1212) or visit their website to schedule a time. We'll have the current contact number ready for you once you report.
What if I lost my pet in East Falmouth?
Contact Falmouth Animal Control immediately at (508) 457-2550 or (508) 457-2552. They maintain a lost pet registry and coordinate with shelters and rescue groups. We also offer a priority lost pet reporting service that alerts the entire local network. Visit our lost pet page for faster processing.
Can I report a lost item after several days?
Yes. Many items surface weeks or months later, especially if they're turned in to a business or the police. ReportLost keeps your report active and searching for a match throughout your entire search period (12 months), so time is not against you once you file.
Where should I look first if I lost something at a local business?
Call or visit the business directly. If they don't have it, ask them to keep your contact info. Then report it through ReportLost so our network alerts the police, Animal Control, and community channels to broaden the search beyond that one location.
Does ReportLost replace calling the police or Animal Control?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that notifies the Falmouth Police Department, Animal Control, and community channels on your behalf, saving you time and ensuring your report reaches all the right places. We don't replace them, we route to them and keep the search active for you. For emergencies or immediate concerns, always contact 911 or local authorities directly.
