How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We handle the heavy lifting: figuring out which police precinct, which lost and found office, which social channels matter for your situation.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to Chesterfield County Animal Services (if it's a pet), Richmond Police (for property theft or recovery), Richmond International Airport (if applicable), and gets amplified across local Facebook groups and Reddit communities.
Your report keeps searching for you
For 12 months, your report stays active and matches against new found posts, marketplace listings, and shelter updates. You get an alert as soon as a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check lost and found pages every single day.

Frequently asked questions
How long will Chesterfield County keep a lost pet report on file?
Lost reports are kept for 30 days at Chesterfield Animal Shelter, then purged. This is why posting on social media and with ReportLost ensures your pet stays in front of the community longer. We recommend visiting the shelter in person with a photo and renewing posts weekly.
What should I do if I find a pet in Meadowbrook?
Contact Chesterfield Animal Services at 804-748-1251 and describe the animal. They can check their database for missing pets and advise next steps. You can also post in local lost pet Facebook groups and Nextdoor to alert the neighborhood.
How do I file a lost property report with Richmond Police?
Contact Richmond Police through their website or call their non-emergency line. They'll ask for a description, location, and value of the item. We can help you gather the right details before you call.
Can I check the Richmond International Airport lost and found over the phone?
Yes, RIC's lost and found office accepts calls Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. at 804-226-3062. Have your item description ready and remember the exact date you lost it. For items lost at security checkpoints, the TSA also maintains a separate lost and found.
What proof do I need to claim a lost item?
Most offices and shelters require proof of ownership. For pets, bring a photo or ID showing your name as the owner. For valuables, bring a receipt, photo, or serial number if available. Check with each office for specific requirements.
