My story

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

Juergen 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!

Juergen 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
- Juergen had surgery to repair his cleft, nose, and palate and also had dental extractions. He has healed up well from this!

More about Juergen:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Juergen can become distressed when left at home alone, and has been making improvements over time and with the help of medication and a dog pal to keep him company. He will need an adopter who can help him continue to work on this as he adjusts to his new home and routine.
Leash walking: Doing well overall, though can sometimes pull toward exciting woodland creatures
Dog social: Friendly! He loves other dogs and has been playful but respectful. He seems to benefit from having a dog pal in the home!
Cat social: Yes, he lives with dog-savvy cats in his foster home and has been doing well with them after a proper intro period
Kid friendly: He is best suited to kids 12+ as he is a big boy who can become jumpy when excited


Juergen likes:
- Wiggling his whole body when his tail wags
- Going on adventures and hanging out on patios with you
- Blueberries and bananas, and gently accepting a cookie from a new friend



Juergen is an amazing dog who is so ready to be adopted. He's friendly, potty trained, and so so sweet. His ideal home is full of fun, active adults who want to spoil him and go on adventures. He has been working on being comfortable with being home solo, so would love an adopter who is home more often than not and who can help him continue to work on this. He can be very excited when meeting new people and in new situations, so would also love a home where he can continue to work on self-soothing, i.e. by working on mental enrichment, redirecting to an appropriate toy, or practicing Relaxation Protocol. Whoever adopts Juergen is going to have a life full of cuddling, kisses, and more love than they know what to do with!


Juergen's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and he is ready to give his forever person all the kisses and cuddles!

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!
