How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Fill out a simple form with details about your lost item, where it went missing, and how to reach you. We gather exactly the information the local authorities and community need.
We connect it to the right channels
Your report goes straight to the Giddings Police Department, local lost pet networks if needed, and active community groups across Giddings. No back-and-forth calls or forms to fill out separately.
Your report keeps searching for you
While you wait, your report stays active across local channels and social networks for 12 months. The moment a matching item or pet surfaces, we alert you automatically, so you don't have to check Facebook groups or call every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the Giddings Police Department and Animal Shelter hold lost items and pets?
The Giddings Police Department typically keeps found items for a set period before releasing or donating them. The Animal Shelter holds lost pets temporarily while attempting to locate owners. We recommend calling (979) 540-2700 (police) or (979) 540-3919 (shelter) to confirm current hold times. Once you file a report with ReportLost, we monitor for matches throughout your search period.
What information should I have ready when I report my lost item?
Have your description ready, including color, size, brand, and any distinguishing marks. Know the general location where you lost it and the approximate date. If it's a pet, a recent photo helps enormously. ReportLost asks for these details and generates the exact information local authorities need.
Can I file a lost pet report directly with the Animal Shelter, or should I use ReportLost?
You can contact the shelter directly at (979) 540-3919 or visit 1900 S Leon St. ReportLost handles the coordination for you, ensuring your pet's description also reaches police, community Facebook groups, and other networks simultaneously, so you don't have to manage multiple calls and posts yourself.
Are there any lost and found databases or resources specific to Giddings I should check?
The Giddings Police Department, City Hall, and the Animal Shelter are your main official sources. Beyond that, the Lee County Texas Lost and Found Pets Facebook group and local Nextdoor communities are where neighbors actively post findings. ReportLost connects you to these channels automatically.
How long does my report stay active with ReportLost?
Your report remains active for your entire search period, which you can choose as 12 months. During that time, we continue to monitor local channels and community posts for matches, and alert you the moment something credible turns up. You don't have to remember to keep searching after the first day.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside local authorities, not in place of them. We don't replace the police or shelter, we complement them. We file reports on your behalf with the right agencies, coordinate with community networks, and keep your search active longer than you could manage alone. If you prefer to report directly, you're welcome to call the police at (979) 540-2700 or the shelter at (979) 540-3919.
