Kira 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!
Kira 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 Kira:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: No, she can become distressed when home alone and can tend to bark at length. She will need a patient adopter who can help her work on this over time, or who is able to bring her to doggie daycare.
Leash walking: She has shown some excited frustration when she sees other dogs on walks, and some fearful reactivity toward strangers. She can become easily overwhelmed on walks, and would do best in a quiet area
Dog social: She has done very well at doggie daycare!
Cat social: She has successfully lived with cats in the past, after a very slow proper intro period.
Kid friendly: Unknown, but would likely do best with older kids given her nervousness with new people
Kira likes:
- Showing off her smarts! She already knows sit, place, and especially paw-her personal favorite!
- Toys! Which she will sometimes take along on potty breaks, for moral support
-
Meet Kira, the ultimate cuddle bug who lives for morning snuggles and endless affection. While she can be a bit shy with new people, Kira's sweet personality shines through with a little patience and once she is comfortable with you, her loyalty and loving nature remain steadfast. She will need an adopter who will give her time, space, and treats to warm up to new humans and would do best in a low traffic neighborhood where she can better focus on working on calm leash manners. She can become very stressed when she is home alone, so will need a patient adopter who can help her work on this over time, and/or who is able to bring her to doggie daycare on days when she would otherwise be home alone for long periods.
Kira's adoption fee is $300, and she is ready to spend her mornings snuggled up 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!
