My story

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

Rascal 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!

Rascal is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about Rascal:
Housebroken: Yes, when on a consistent routine
Crate trained: No, Rascal has done best when given free roam and with other dogs in the home, when her people are away. She can become distressed when crated, or when at home completely alone.
Leash walking: Rascal has a strong prey drive towards critters she sees on walks, and is a strong girl who can pull quite hard. She would benefit from a confident handler, and her adopter will be offered a free spot in our virtual leash reactivity training class!
Dog social: Yes! She lives with 3 dogs in her current foster home and has been doing very well. She is friendly and playful, and will need a home with another dog(s) to help her be more comfortable when home alone.
Cat social: No, she prefers not to have feline friends
Kid friendly: She has done well in brief interactions with kids


Rascal likes:
- Being cuddled, and will go belly up for belly rubs
- Playing fetch and tug
- Learning new things and using her brain!



Rascal wants to play! Life is a playground and she is here for it. Rascal loves other dogs, and she loves her humans too. The more you let her decompress and feel at home, the more you'll see her shine. She has struggled when home alone without a dog pal too keep her company, so will need a dog friend in her future home.She can sometimes show some mouthy (play biting) and jumpy behavior when overstimulated and would appreciate an adopter who can help her to channel and redirect this energy in positive ways, like working on a puzzle toy or stuffed Kong. She is very smart and energetic, so would love a home where she'll get plenty of mental enrichment and opportunities to learn in exchange for tasty treats!


Rascal's adoption fee has been co-sponsored by a generous supporter and our friends at Sandy's Pet Spa, and she is ready to get all the belly rubs in her forever home!

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!
