Welcome to Companion Pet Rescue & Transport (CPR), where our mission is to rescue and rehome abandoned and neglected dogs, giving them a second chance at a loving home. Our efforts extend beyond rescue to include our spay/neuter outreach program, which assists families in need of these essential services to ensure a healthier future for their pets.
At CPR, we focus on friendly, social, and loving companion pets. Our dogs are heavily socialized with others in doggy daycare environments or foster homes, where they interact with children and other pets. We believe in the transformative power of love and positive environments to help our rescued dogs thrive and find their forever homes.
While we encounter more dogs in need than we have available foster homes, we remain steadfast in our commitment to making a difference. Our spay/neuter outreach program is a critical part of our mission, helping families who may not have the means to afford these services. This initiative plays a vital role in controlling the pet population and ensuring the well-being of companion animals in our community.
This Duck Day, you have a unique opportunity to support Companion Pet Rescue & Transport by participating in the Duck Day Raffle. By purchasing raffle tickets, you contribute directly to our rescue efforts and spay/neuter program. Each ticket sold helps us continue providing medical care, shelter, and love to dogs in need, and supports our outreach initiatives.
With every Duck Day raffle ticket purchased, you help us rescue more dogs, provide essential veterinary care, and support families through our spay/neuter program. Your involvement allows us to save more lives and create a compassionate environment for our furry friends.
Don’t wait to make a lasting impact. Purchase your Duck Day raffle tickets today and join Companion Pet Rescue & Transport in our commitment to rescuing and rehoming dogs. Together, we can give more dogs a second chance and bring joy to the lives of these deserving companion pets.

Dive into the quacktastic world of Duck Day, an extraordinary event that has been making a splash since its creation in 2005 by the Naugatuck Chamber. The main event of the day is the Great Duck Day Race. 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 previous decades, 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!
