Questions and answers
How quickly should I call Cincinnati Animal CARE if my pet is missing?
Immediately. Cincinnati Animal CARE's lost pet hotline is 513-541-7387. They're open 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily. The first few hours are critical. They maintain a database of found animals and post regularly to social media, so filing early maximizes the chance someone brings your pet in and finds a match.
What if I lost my wallet or phone on the street versus at a business?
Both should be reported to the relevant police precinct (Springfield Township or Cincinnati Police, depending on where the loss occurred). If it was in a shop or restaurant, call the business directly too. ReportLost coordinates all three channels so nothing slips through the cracks.
How long do police keep lost items in their property rooms?
Most departments hold lost items for 30 to 90 days before disposal. It's important to file a report and ask about the retention window. After you report with ReportLost, we include guidance on follow-up timing, so you know when to check back or have your property retrieved.
Do I need to report to both Springfield Township Police and Cincinnati Police?
Depends on your exact loss location. Finneytown is a census-designated place within Springfield Township, so Springfield Township Police is usually the right precinct. If you're unsure, call the non-emergency line at 513-765-1212 to confirm jurisdiction, or submit through ReportLost and we'll advise which agency to contact.
Can I report a lost pet on Nextdoor and Facebook instead of to the shelter?
You can do both, and you should. Social media spreads word fast among neighbors, but the shelter is where found animals are brought. Filing a lost pet report with Cincinnati Animal CARE (and with ReportLost to amplify visibility) covers all bases.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that streamlines the reporting process and coordinates across multiple channels. We're not affiliated with Cincinnati Police, Springfield Township Police, or Cincinnati Animal CARE. We handle the routing, verification, and continuous matching on your behalf, but the actual report is filed with the official agencies. You're not bypassing anyone; we're just making the process faster and ensuring nothing gets missed.
