How ReportLost Works
You file a report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details the right people need to hear.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Dalhart Police Department, City Hall, Animal Control (if applicable), and gets shared across local community channels so people looking know what to keep an eye out for.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays live and continues to match against new found posts, Facebook groups, and community alerts. You get notified if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check every day yourself.
Where to report locally (and what ReportLost does for you)
Here's what each resource covers, plus how ReportLost saves you the legwork
Dalhart Police Department
If your lost item involves theft or suspicious circumstances, or if you want an official report on file, the Dalhart Police can help. They're open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For non-emergency reports of lost items, call the non-emergency line. ReportLost generates the exact details to include and ensures your report reaches the right desk.
City Hall / City of Dalhart
City Hall can direct you to the department most likely to have received your item if it was turned in at a municipal location or business district. They're open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and can point you toward lost and found coordinators. ReportLost alerts City Hall on your behalf, speeding up the process.
Animal Control & Shelter
Lost a cat, dog, or other pet? Dalhart Animal Control keeps a registry of found animals and can check their facility. They operate during weekday hours and maintain a Facebook presence where community members post found pets. ReportLost submits your missing pet details immediately, and our alerts reach Animal Control and the active local pet recovery groups so neighbors start looking right away. File a priority lost pet report
Community groups & social media
Dalhart residents actively share lost and found posts on Facebook, especially in groups dedicated to missing pets and community alerts. Nextdoor is another channel where neighbors watch for lost items and animals. ReportLost posts your report across these networks simultaneously, multiplying your reach without you having to message each group individually.

The sooner you report, the fresher the trail
Filing your report today means Animal Control, police, and community members are alerted while the search is warm. Once your report is live, you can take a breath, knowing the automated matching system is working for you around the clock.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Dalhart sends you bouncing between the police non-emergency line, City Hall, Animal Control, and Facebook groups, each with different hours and contact methods. A wallet left at a local business, a lost dog wandering north of town, or a phone misplaced at one of the town's main gathering spots each needs a separate call and separate follow-up.
ReportLost consolidates that search into one action. File once, and we notify the Dalhart Police Department, route alerts to Animal Control if needed, notify City Hall's community channels, and post to the Facebook groups where locals are already looking. Best part: your report doesn't expire after a week. It stays active and continues to match incoming found reports automatically, so even if something turns up weeks or months later, you're still in the loop.
