Where to report lost items in Menomonie
The main channels and what to expect from each

City Hall & Municipal Services
The city clerk and administrative offices can point you toward specific departments or lost-and-found services depending on where you lost your item. They're also a good resource if you lost something at a municipal facility or event.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, the Dunn County Humane Society is your best first call. They keep records of lost and found animals and can advise on microchip checks and local search strategies. They also monitor the active 'Dunn County Pets — Missing and Found' Facebook group where the community shares sightings and recovery tips. To maximize your chances, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost as well.
Local Transit & Rideshare
If you left something on a Dunn County Transit bus or at a local stop, contact DCT directly. For items left in a taxi or rideshare vehicle, contact the driver or company as soon as possible, as personal item policies vary and quick action improves recovery odds.

Here are the offices that take your report.
The sooner you file a report, the sooner our team can start routing it to the right places and monitoring for matches. Every hour counts when something is lost, but once you report, you can breathe easy, we handle the follow-up.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Menomonie means juggling phone calls to the police, the animal shelter, local Facebook groups, and hoping someone posts on Nextdoor before the item disappears. Each service works independently, and that window to recover something closes fast if you're not constantly refreshing and calling around.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report, one submission, and we handle the coordination with the Menomonie Police Department, the Dunn County Humane Society, and local community channels. Better yet, your report doesn't stop after you hit submit, it stays active and keeps searching for a match while you get back to normal.
