My story

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

Estelle is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey on our website to learn more about her and schedule a phone call or meet and greet with her foster.

Estelle is:
Spayed: 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 Estelle:
Housebroken: Doing well overall when on a consistent routine
Crate trained: She has done well overall with free roam and in her crate when home alone, after taking 20-30 minutes to settle initially.
Leash walking: She has been reactive to other dogs she sees on walks, and will pull and bark. She would do best in a quiet neighborhood where she won't frequently encounter other dogs.
Dog social: Estelle has seemed comfortable with some but not all other dogs, and will need to be the only dog in her future home
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Likely not a match, as she can be nervous with new people


Estelle likes:
- Snuggling, cuddling, and giving kisses
- Using her brain to solve puzzle toys and learn new things
- Playing tug and burning off some energy


Estelle is an extremely smart and affectionate pup who is always looking out for you! She lives for cuddle time, and will always accept any belly rubs you have to offer her! A sensitive gal, Estelle is likely a better fit for an adult-only home where she'll be given time, space and treats when meeting new people. She would prefer to be the only dog in the home, and to live in a neighborhood where she won't have to see many other dogs on walks, given her leash reactivity. She would also appreciate an adopter who can provide her with plenty of mental enrichment to help channel her energy in positive ways!


Estelle's adoption fee has been sponsored by generous supporters, and she is eager to cuddle up with her forever family!


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 application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours. For additional questions, email adopt@onetail.org ***

Go meet their pets

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!
