My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Fran is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster!

Fran is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Believed to have hip dysplasia in both hips, which will require lifelong management

More about Fran:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: She has done well with free roam when home alone, for up to 9-10 hours
Leash walking: She has shown some reactivity to other dogs on walks, and has done best when given a good deal of distance from them
Dog social: She should be the only dog in her future home, as she prefers to have her own space around other dogs
Cat social: Not a match
Kid friendly: She has done well in interactions with older kids


Fran likes:
- Lazy Sunday mornings spent listening to NPR and doing crosswords with you
- Supervising your yard work while she catches some rays
- Tennis balls(!!) and playing fetch, when the mood strikes



Best girl Fran is the dog equivalent of a weighted blanket and possibly the coziest dog to ever exist. With her knack for finding the perfect sunbeam for a nap, we suspect that she might secretly be solar-powered. Fran would prefer to be your one and only, so would do best as the only furry companion in the home. On leash, she can be reactive when other dogs approach her, so would do best in a neighborhood where she can consistently have a decent amount of distance from other dogs on walks.


Fran's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and she is excited to be tucked in at night by her forever human(s)!

Our Adoption Center is open every Wednesday – Sunday in Bucktown at 2144 N Wood Street, but we are reachable by email 7 days/week!

Our Adoption Center has adoptable dogs. Adoptable cats and bunnies live in foster homes. We work on a first come basis. We are limiting the amount of visitors on site, so you may be asked to be added to the waitlist when you arrive. We require all family members of the household (including any resident dogs with current vaccination records) to be present at the introduction. We recommend being prepared to adopt same-day as the dogs at our Adoption Center are available for direct adoption and we do not “hold” them for specific applicants.

You can view which dogs are currently at our Adoption Center by selecting “adoption center” in the attributes tab on our Available Pets page.

ADOPTION APPOINTMENTS: For dogs, cats, and bunnies living in foster care our Adoption Team will set up adoption appointments with potential adopters after an application is submitted. We do not have cats, bunnies, or guinea pigs living at our Adoption Center (only dogs!)

More about this rescue

One Tail at a Time (OTAT) started as a backup plan for dogs that were not getting adopted or rescued by other groups in the area shelters. Over the years we have experienced consistent and steady growth: we are among the top transfer partners for dogs at Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) and for cats at several open intake shelters in Indiana, we have a robust transport program in which dogs are rescued from high-kill shelters in southern states, and we are even able to pull dogs from a rescue partner in Tulum, Mexico to help them get adopted in the Chicagoland area. Our growth has been, and continues to be, due to the overwhelming support received from our community.

Members enable us to take on complex medical cases and continue to grow our annual intake numbers. Volunteers have continued to line up to foster and care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, to take on leadership roles, and to help build One Tail at a Time into a well-known and respected rescue organization in Chicago and beyond.

Due to our continuous growth and immensely supportive community of members, volunteers, fosters, adopters, and more, we have evolved into the One Tail at a Time Cooperative!
