Valley Paw Partners
SAVING THE VALLEY’S FURRY FRIENDS, ONE RESCUE AT A TIME.
Here in The Borough, we believe every animal deserves a second chance and a loving, safe environment. Valley Paw Partners is a dedicated pet shelter and animal welfare network working tirelessly across Naugatuck, Prospect, and Waterbury to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome our community’s most vulnerable cats and dogs. When stray, abandoned, or surrendered animals have nowhere else to turn, our local volunteers step in to provide warmth, medical care, and the promise of a forever family.
Our Local Impact
Compassionate Sheltering & Adoption: Providing safe havens and matching hundreds of rescued dogs and cats with loving families throughout Greyhound Nation each year.
Community Spay/Neuter & Wellness: Offering low-cost vaccination clinics and distributing spay/neuter vouchers to reduce pet overpopulation and keep neighborhood pets healthy.
Emergency Medical Care: Partnering with local Valley veterinarians to fund life-saving surgeries and emergency treatments for sick or injured strays found on our streets.
Fostering Programs: Maintaining a robust network of local foster homes to give animals a stress-free environment to heal and socialize while they await adoption.
The Emotional Connection: When you provide community support to Valley Paw Partners, you are doing more than just feeding a shelter dog—you are healing a broken spirit. The transformation from a frightened, abandoned stray to a joyful, tail-wagging companion is nothing short of a miracle. By funding our rescue efforts, you bring immense joy to the local families who adopt them, proving that the heart of our community extends to those with four paws.
Participate in the Duck Day Raffle: Adopt a Duck to Save a Tail
As a volunteer-driven non-profit, our rescue operations rely entirely on the generosity of our neighbors. The annual Duck Day Raffle is our most critical fundraiser of the year, allowing us to keep our shelter doors open and our food bins full. Purchasing your raffle tickets directly funds emergency veterinary care and helps us upgrade our aging kennels. We need Greyhound Nation to rally behind us as those rubber ducks drop into the Naugatuck River!

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 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!
