Welcome to the 600WREC Pet Patrol

The Pet Patrol is a project near and dear to the heart of Craig Robbins, host of Memphis Morning News. The Pet Patrol was developed to assist local shelters and rescue groups in getting the word out regarding animals in need of your help. It is your link to adoptions and events happening that involve pets and those looking for homes in our area. You can e-mail events regarding area adoptions, clinics and information concerning our pet population to the Pet Patrol, petpatrol@600wrec.com.
