Niven 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!
Niven 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
- Being treated for an ear infection
More about Niven:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Yes, he has done well in his crate when home alone for up to 6 hours as well as overnight.
Leash walking: He loves walks but he can be reactive and pull, so will need to keep working on this and would do best in a lower-traffic neighborhood. His adopter will be offered a free spot in our virtual leash reactivity training class!
Dog social: He has lived with other dogs, but may do best as the only dog in the home so he does not have to share his human
Cat social: Unknown, but he has shown prey drive toward small critters on walks
Kid friendly: He would do best in an adults-only home, due to resource guarding behaviors and some body sensitivity
Niven likes:
- Napping with (or ideally, on) his person
- Going for walks in quiet areas
- Playing tug or fetch
Niven is SO sweet and loves his humans so hard. His little body almost EXPLODES with joy every time you come back home to him, but he also does just fine in his crate when you are away. The spot he most wants to be is curled up on your lap with blankets. If that's not available, rest-assured he's down for lots of tug of war, fetch and chomping on any bone you'll give him. He experiences leash reactivity and would prefer a lower-traffic area where he can better focus on training to work on this. He has shown some resource guarding behaviors, and would likely prefer to be the only dog in an adult-only home. Niven has been very sensitive to sound and would do best in a single family home (rather than an apartment complex).
Niven's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to love on 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/

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!
