My story

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

Chiquita is living in a foster home. Submit an application from our website to learn more and see if you are a match.




Meet Chiquita, a shy but incredibly loving 2-year-old cookiess-n-cream pup. Weighing in at 25 lbs, this black and white beauty adores other dogs and enjoys playing with balls, Kongs, and bones. Although cautious around new people, once Chiquita trusts you, she'll shower you with love and affection. She is heartworm positive but is currently receiving treatment and is crate trained with excellent potty habits. Chiquita would thrive in a calm home where she can feel safe and loved. Smart and eager to learn, Chiquita is ready to be your loyal companion and best friend!



Chiquita has tested positive for heartworm and she is undergoing treatment at our Ellis Veterinary Clinic. OTAT will cover the cost of her treatment until she is heartworm negative. She is currently in the first (Doxycycline) phase of treatment and will be undergoing injections on 3 future dates (TBD). She will need to remain on exercise restriction for the next ~9 months. For information on the heartworm treatment process, visit: onetail.org/heartworm.


Chiquita's adoption fee is $300. She is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, microchipped and heartworm positive.


**** Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours. For additional questions, email adopt@onetail.org ****

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!
