My story

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

Buddy 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!

Buddy 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

More about Buddy:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone, for up to 8 hours
Leash walking: He can be reactive to some strangers and other dogs on walks, and has been working on this with positive reinforcement training!
Dog social: He has done well in living and playing with well-matched dog pals
Cat social: Unknown, but he has shown prey drive and is very curious about small animals on walks.
Kid friendly: He has done well with dog-savvy and respectful older kids after a slow intro period. He is likely not a match for younger kids, given his timidity with some new people.


Buddy likes:
- Being complimented on his perfect brows
- Playing fetch, and tucking his tennis ball in for a nap in his blankets in between rounds
- Showing off his impressive repertoire of tricks!

Buddy is the ultimate nature-loving, fun and brainy sidekick! Buddy's personality is a perfect blend of exuberance and relaxation. He'll gladly join you for a game of fetch, for as long as you're willing to toss the ball, but he's also content to have some independent playtime. He is also super smart and loves to learn and use his brain, so would thrive in a home where he'll get plenty of mental enrichment. While Buddy may take his time warming up to new faces, a little cheese and a game of fetch is all it takes to earn his trust. He quickly forms strong bonds once that initial connection is established, and he will then be your super devoted BFF.


Buddy's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and he is excited to play fetch into the sunset with his forever 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!
