My story

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

Milk Tea 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 Milk Tea's foster!

Milk Tea is:
- Neutered
- Up to date on vaccines
- Microchipped
- Heartworm positive but has completed his series of injections at Ellis Clinic. He is currently on activity restriction until he can be retested. You can learn more about heartworm treatment on our resource page - https://www.onetail.org/heartworm/

Milk Tea is:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone, for up to 8 hours
Leash walking: Doing well overall, though he will pull towards squirrels
Dog social : Yes, but will guard high value toys and food from other dogs
Cat social: No, he prefers not to have feline friends
Kid friendly: Milk Tea is good with kids 12+ and has shared a home with them in the past

Milk Tea likes:
- Cuddling and spending calm, relaxing days at home with his person
- To greet you at the door with one shoe in his mouth just in case you want to change into your house shoes
- Squeezing himself into small dog beds and places he barely fits for naps



Milk Tea is so sweet! He loves a good snuggle and can always tell when you need a little extra love. He keeps to himself and doesn't bother you if you are on a work call and will self-soothe with a toy or a nap. He is always down to play or learn, especially if there are treats involved! He is a smart boy ready to please.... For cheese. Milk Tea is thriving in a home that is he currently sharing with another dog. He will guard resources like food, bones and toys from other dogs so will need an adopter who can manage resources in the home if there is a resident dog. A sensitive boy, he can sometimes startle when he is abruptly awoken and will do best with a family that can respect his boundaries.

He is on activity restriction until he completes his heartworm treatment in February 2025.

Milk Tea's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and he is eager to share his heart with his forever person!

Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/

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!
