Chocolate 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 Chocolate's foster!
Chocolate is:
- Neutered
- Up to date on vaccines
- Microchipped
- Heartworm negative, after successful heartworm treatment in our care
More about Chocolate:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Yes, after taking 10-15 minutes to settle initially.
Leash walking: Still working on leash walking and will react to strangers and other dogs, but has been easy to redirect
Dog social: Yes! He lives with other dogs in his foster home and thrives with the company of confident dog pals.
Cat social: He has done well in living with a cat after a slow intro
Kid friendly: This shy guy would prefer an adult-only home
Chocolate likes:
- Having dog BFFs to play and explore with
- Giving high fives in exchange for tasty snacks
- Going on critter patrol in the backyard
Everybody loves Chocolate! Choco came from Tulum Mexico to be an OTAT dog, and while he was very sick when he came up, he's healthy now and ready to find his family! Chocolate is very dog friendly and loves having confident dog pals, but he will guard high-value items like bones from other dogs. He can also be body-sensitive at times, and should be with adults who can respect his body language and help to manage his resource guarding around other dogs. He can be nervous with new people, and will need an adult-only home with patient adopters who will give him time, space, and treats when meeting new people. This guy would prefer a quieter neighborhood and a calmer home, where he can feel more at ease.
Chocolate's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to be your new best friend!
Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/

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!
