My story

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

Jeppson 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!

Jeppson 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

More about Jeppson:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: He has done best with free roam when home alone for up to 5 hours, once he has adjusted to his environment, and prefers this to being crated when home alone. He has done fine in his crate for shorter periods, more so when his person is home.
Leash walking: He is reactive to strangers on walks, and will bark and pull. He would do best in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood.
Dog social: Yes! He lives successfully with other dogs, and also loves attending dog daycare. He will need another dog (or dogs!) in his future home, as this helps him to be his best self.
Cat social: He lives with a cat in his foster home and has done very well after a slow, proper intro period.
Kid friendly: Not a match, as he is nervous with new people


Jeppson likes:
- Tossing around his plush toys
- Using his brain to solve food-hiding puzzle toys
- Having dog (and cat!) pals to keep him company



Jeppson is a loving and loyal chihuahua mix who prefers you and only you all to himself. He enjoys sleeping under the covers, finding the comfiest spots, and sunbathing, though he gets bursts of energy and zooms around the house and yard with his long legs. He is food motivated and eager to please which helps with his training! He can be uncomfortable with new people, particularly male-presenting humans, and would benefit from a patient adopter who can give him plenty of time, space, and treats to warm up and decompress. He would do best in a calm female-only home without frequent visitors. He would also prefer a quiet neighborhood (or home with a yard) as he is similarly nervous and reactive toward strangers on walks.


Jeppson's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to spice up your 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!
