My story

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

Bodie 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!

Bodie 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 when home alone

More about Bodie:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: He has struggled to settle when home alone, and has done best with free roam for a few hours at a time and with the addition of anxiety medication.
Leash walking: He has been sensitive to noises and reactive when he sees other dogs and some people on walks. He will need to keep working on this with positive reinforcement training, and would do best in a quieter, lower traffic.
Dog social: He would do best as the only dog in his future home, as has shown some discomfort and resource guarding behaviors with other dogs in his space.
Cat social: He is likely not a match for a home with cats
Kid friendly: He has done well in interactions with a dog-savvy child, but he can become jumpy when excited and mouthy (play biting) during playtime so is likely not a match for smaller kids.


Bodie likes:
- His morning zoomies, hopping from couch to couch
- Going for peaceful walks in nature preserves
- Squeaking pigs/chicken toys!


Bodie is a very loving boy who is active and smart! He would thrive in a home where he'll get plenty of outlets for his physical and mental energy to keep him engaged and fulfilled. He has shown some nervousness when meeting new people, and would appreciate an adopter who can give him plenty of time, space, and treats when around new people, especially during decompression periods. Once he becomes familiar with someone after repeated introductions, he becomes comfortable with them. Given his separation anxiety, Bodie would do best with someone who is home more often than not and who can help him work on this over time as he adjusts to his new home. With consistent training and positive praise, and a quieter house/neighborhood, we know he will really thrive!


Bodie's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to meet his best friend for life!

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!
