My story

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

Maeve 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!

Maeve 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
- Diagnosed with two heart defects, which will require regular meds and moderated exercise to avoid overexertion, and which may affect the quality and length of her life.

More about Maeve:
Housebroken: Yes
Crate trained: She has minor separation distress, and has done well with free roam when she has toys and enrichment to keep her occupied
Leash walking: Doing well overall, though can tend to be alert on walks and will sometimes pull toward squirrels. She'd do best in a quieter neighborhood.
Dog social: She has done well with encountering dogs on walks, and would do best with slow intros to well-matched dog pals
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: She lived with a 6-year-old child in her prior foster home and did well, though may do best with slightly older kids as she can be a bit jumpy when excited


Maeve likes:
- Carrying her plush toys around the house
- Covering you in kisses
- Curling up somewhere soft for snuggle time, and getting all the pets!


Maeve is an amazing pocket-pittie (40 lbs!) who would love to find a home with people (and older kids) who would be willing to snuggle with her adorable little face all day long. Taking on Maeve means getting a dog who will be obsessed with you (and squirrels, but mostly you), showering you with kisses and affection, all in a pint-sized little package. You also need to be prepared to be stopped constantly by admirers, as Maeve is truly the cutest pup on the planet! Maeve has done really well with kids 5+, though her enthusiasm sometimes manifests itself in jumping and giving lots of kisses. A yard would be great for Maeve, as she seems to prefer a private place to poop, and she also has the most adorable, jumpy zoomies that you need a yard to truly appreciate. Maeve does have a bit of FOMO when left alone, but has been doing really well when left in a room to mourn your absence with a peanut butter Kong and a comfy bed.


Maeve's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor, and she is ready to give all the kisses to her person!

Adoption application

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!
