Plume 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!
Plume 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
- Heartworm positive and on activity restriction. Plume is undergoing treatment at Ellis Clinic at no charge to their adopter. Heartworm is a treatable disease that most dogs
make a full recovery from. You can learn more about heartworm treatment on our resource page - https://www.onetail.org/heartworm/
More about Plume:
Housebroken: Yes
Crate trained: She has done best with free roam when home alone for up to 6 hours, after taking ~20 minutes to settle initially. She will need to keep working on this as she transitions to her new home.
Leash walking: She can be very alert on leash, and can pull toward and bark at other dogs she sees on walks. She would benefit from continuing to work on loose leash walking with positive reinforcement, and would do best in a quieter neighborhood.
Dog social: She has been selective with her dog pals and may be comfortable with some but not all. She has shown resource guarding behaviors with other dogs, and may do best as the only dog in her future home.
Cat social: Unknown, but she has shown prey drive toward small critters on walks
Kid friendly: Likely not a match, as she has shown resource guarding behaviors with people, and can be excitable when greeting people.
Plume likes:
- Admiring and rearranging her toy collection
- Using her brain to solve puzzles!
- Following you around to politely request belly rubs
Plume is an energetic dog who loves her long walks, loves being around her people, and really benefits from having interactive games/puzzles. She will do well with extra training for nose work, agility, or learning fun new tricks. She is also ready to expand on her basic training. When Plume is tired out, she loves to cuddle on the couch and will ask for belly rubs. When she dreams you will hear her Husky vocals :) Plume can be a little shy/cautious at first and needs some time to adjust to a new place and new person. Once comfortable, she's super friendly and snuggly, but is also great at entertaining herself if you're busy. She can be pretty alert on walks, and would likely do best a quieter neighborhood where she can feel more relaxed and can best focus on positive reinforcement training. As she has shown resource guarding behaviors with people and other dogs, she may prefer to be in a home without kids or other dogs. Plume is very smart and curious, and would do well in a home where she will get plenty of opportunities to use her noggin to solve puzzles or learn new things.
Plume's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and she is ready to get all the belly rubs in her forever home!

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!
