Compassion and Care for Animals in Need

In the heart of Naugatuck, CT, a beacon of hope shines for animals in need. Animals for Life, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been a steadfast advocate for the rescue, care, and placement of animals since 1996. Our mission is driven by a commitment to not just rescue animals from distressing situations but to also ensure they find a loving, permanent home where they can thrive.

A Journey of Compassion and Care

Every animal deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life. This belief is at the core of everything we do. From cats and dogs to the smallest of critters, our efforts span across adoptive placements, comprehensive care, and relentless advocacy for those who cannot speak for themselves. Our dedication goes beyond rescue; we are deeply committed to educating the community on responsible pet ownership and the importance of understanding animal welfare issues.

Creating a Future Where Every Animal is Cherished

Our work is fuelled by the support of our community and the belief that together, we can make a significant impact. By fostering an environment of care and respect, we aim to raise awareness and drive change in how animals are viewed and treated. Animals for Life is not just about rescue; it’s about creating a lasting change that ensures every animal is respected and loved.

How You Can Help

The journey of thousands of animals to their forever homes begins with a single step: yours. Here’s how you can join Animals for Life in making a difference:

What Is Duck Day?

Dive into the quacktastic world of Duck Day, an extraordinary event that has been making a splash since its creation in 2006 by the Naugatuck Chamber. Imagine over 20,000 rubber ducks joyously racing down the Naugatuck River, each one vying to be among the first 20 to cross the finish line and claim fabulous prizes. With the top prize of $5,000 awaiting one lucky ticket holder, the excitement is simply ducky!

But Duck Day is more than just a race; it’s a delightful festival that brings the heart of downtown Naugatuck to life! Maple and Water Streets are transformed into a vibrant wonderland where food and craft vendors tempt your taste buds, live music sets your feet tapping, and games and activities keep the kids giggling with joy. The festivities also offer a fantastic opportunity for businesses to showcase their products and services to the enthusiastic crowd of over 5,000 attendees.

Beyond the fun and frolic, Duck Day carries a heartwarming mission to support the local community. Over the past 17 years, this feather-filled celebration has helped more than 375 organizations raise nearly half a million dollars through the Duck Race fundraising activities.

Don’t miss your chance to join the flock of enthusiastic participants! Please note that Chamber employees are not eligible to participate in the draw. The more entries we receive, the quackier the race becomes, increasing your chances of being a winner! All participants must be over 16 years of age to enter this exciting event. So, grab your tickets and join us for a day of quacktastic fun and meaningful contributions to our community!
