My story

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

Schumacher 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!

Schumacher is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Currently taking regular allergy medications and joint supplements

More about Schumacher:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone, for up to 5 hours
Leash walking: Great!
Dog social: He will greet other dogs and be quite friendly, but does not seem interested in playing
Cat social: Unknown, but he has shown prey drive toward squirrels on walks
Kid friendly: He will need an adult-only home, as he has seemed uncomfortable around kids on walks and does not like to have his paws touched


Schumacher likes:
- Being a supportive "office assistant" and resting at your feet while you work from home
- Enjoying a nice nap on the deck on sunny days
- Cuddling with his stuffed bunny, with whom he's had a successful long term relationship


Schumacher has a loyal heart of gold! He is independent, can be trusted home alone, and will welcome you home like he's been waiting for that very moment all day. He can be nervous around kids, so would do best in an adult-only home. While he may not love his paws touched, he otherwise LOVES pets and will gaze lovingly in the eyes of those he cares about. Walks and time outside are his jam. He's super flexible so both long and short walks work.....just let him sniff and he's a happy man.



Schumacher's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and he is ready to spend his golden years gazing lovingly into your eyes!

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!
