My story

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

Mingo 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!

Mingo is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- A hospice foster, as he has degenerative heart and spine conditions, as well as joint and eye issues. He is taking joint, pain, and heart medications for these.



More about Mingo:
Housebroken: Yes
Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone
Leash walking: Doing well!
Dog social: He has been friendly with other dogs, but prefers to coexist rather than play
Cat social: Not a match
Kid friendly: He has done well with older kids who can respect his space


Mingo likes:
- Basking in the sun, whether that's on the couch or outside on the front porch, and he wouldn't turn down a window view!
- Going for long, slow walks with his human
- All the tasty snacks!


Mingo is a Golden Bachelor who is back in the dating pool, looking for his perfect forever match! While he has a slight limp due to arthritis, he still enjoys a nice walk (at a slower pace). Mingo prefers to be given his space, but has excellent house manners. He will respect your property and valued possessions, and just nap away when being left home alone. The way to a Mingo's heart is through his stomach! There is nothing he loves more than food. Sure, a nice walk through the neighborhood is fun and a nap is essential, but food is life!


Mingo's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and he is ready to enjoy the rest of his life with you!

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!
