My story

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

Louis 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!

Louis is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Currently taking medication for anxiety support when home alone
- Currently on a diet free of chicken, dairy, and salmon due to some GI sensitivity

More about Louis:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone, once adjusted to his new environment and with the help of anxiety medication
Leash walking: He has been doing well overall, when given a little space from other dogs when he seems uncomfortable
Dog social: He has not had much close interaction with other dogs while in our care, but has seemed curious yet cautious when he sees other dogs on walks.
Cat social: Not a match
Kid friendly: He will need an adult-only home, given his nervousness with new people


Louis likes:
- Cuddling up under some blankets with you
- Using his brain and learning new things!
- "Helping" you catch up on Real Housewives on the couch



Louis is an absolute sweetheart whose adoring eyes will make your soul melt. He is so smart and loves to learn, and will pick up on direction quickly. He can be nervous with new people, so will need an adult-only home where he will be given plenty of time, space, and treats when meeting any new friends. He would therefore also prefer not to live in an elevator building. Whether he is curled up under the covers with you, or greeting you with the best wiggles at the door, Lou loves his trusted humans and makes for the most loyal of companions!


Louis's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and he is ready to snuggle up with his person!

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!
