Lost or Found Pet?

Lost pets need fast action. PAWS Animal Rescue, the Pierre-Fort Pierre Humane Society, and local Facebook groups are your first stop. Animal Control also responds to strays. We help you coordinate alerts across all of them and file a priority lost pet report to keep your search active.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.

Getting your report filed quickly makes a real difference.

The sooner local channels know about your loss, the sooner a found item can match with your description. Once your report is live, the waiting and wondering is over; our system takes it from there.

Losing something valuable in Pierre can feel frustrating, especially when local services operate separately: the police handle lost property, animal control manages strays, and community Facebook groups fill with new posts every hour. Tracking down the right person or group often takes days of phone calls and endless scrolling.

ReportLost simplifies that mess. You fill out one form, and we make sure the Pierre Police Department, City Hall, PAWS Animal Rescue, and active local groups all know about your loss. The real advantage: your report doesn't expire after a few days like a social media post. It stays active for 12 months, continuously matching against new found items, so you can stop refreshing your screen and trust that you'll be alerted if a match appears.
