Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Dog sociability: Yes! With proper introduction to a cat-friendly dog!
Cat sociability: Possibly, she met another only briefly. She didn't seem to care about chill cats but wouldn't do well with a kitten's energy.
Kid sociability: Possibly - gentle kids who don't mess with her might work!
Likes: Pillows! Blankets! Movie marathons on the couch. Sunny spots by the window. Living her best retirement life.
Dislikes: Cutting her nails. Car rides. Change
Bio:
Are you looking for a binge-watching tv buddy? Dorothy would love nothing more than to sit next to you and watch the whole season at once. Only issue is she has been known to snore, but just pick more entertaining shows, ok? Seriously she loves to be with her people. Probably share a pillow at night if you let her. Next best activity is probably sitting by a sunny window or snuggled up in her bed.
She is so loving and loyal to her people. With a reliable routine she just thrives! An overall very low maintenance lady who is looking for a friendly home to live out her retirement life. She's chatty when she wants attention or more of her special food. Hates her carrier and car rides, so no cross country adventure for her! And like most of us, if you touch her without consent she may not like it.
Dorothy is gentle, easy-going girl that would love a cozy forever home to spend her golden years!
The adoption fee is $100. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

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!
