My story

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

Dakota 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!

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

More about Dakota:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Yes! She has done well in her crate when home alone for a full workday.
Leash walking: She has shown reactivity when she sees other dogs on walks, and will then bark and pull. She will need to keep working on this!
Dog social: She lives with a resident dog in her foster home and has been doing very well with him. She does best with slow intros and time to warm up to other dogs.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: She has done well in brief interactions with kids as young as 3


Dakota likes:
- Getting a new toy or treat
- Cuddling
- Playing with a dog pal



Dakota is a wonderful 5-year young-at-heart girl! She is very sweet towards humans and loves to play with the resident beagle in her foster home (they are inseparable). She has the perfect blend of energy when playing, but ready to snuggle when needed. Dakota is very well mannered in the home and responds well to cues. She has been working on her leash reactivity, and would appreciate an adopter who can help her keep up with this work!


Dakota's adoption fee is $300, and she is eager to share her heart and home with her perfect match!

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!
