My story

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

Emily 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!

Emily 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 Emily:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: She has done well with free roam when home alone
Leash walking: She has done well on leash, but can be stubborn when it is time to go home and tends to require a little coaxing with treats.
Dog social: She has made friends with some dogs outside of the home who have a similar rough playstyle, but she has shown some protectiveness over her space and toys that will need to be managed when around other dogs.
Cat social: Not a match for a home with cats
Kid friendly: She'd do best in an adult-only home, as she has shown resource guarding behaviors


Emily likes:
- Laying outside and enjoying a nice breeze
- Getting scritches and chewing on her chew toys
- Being as close to you on the couch as possible



Emily is looking to fill the 65lb hole in your heart, yard, couch, and bed! This snuggle queen is a girl of opinions and a lack of personal space. She does fine living in the city and doesn't mind other dogs, thunderstorms, or fireworks, but she does mind when you're sitting in her spot or trying to get work done on your computer while rudely ignoring when she wants to hang outside. Since she loves her outdoor time so much that she can sometimes refuse to leave the park, she would love a quiet neighborhood or a home with a yard where she can lounge at length. She can be protective of her belongings, so may not be a match for a home with kids, and would need management around other dogs. She can also be a bit jumpy sometimes when she gets super excited, so would benefit from continuing to work on this with positive reinforcement.


Emily's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and she is ready to be spoiled in her forever home!

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!
