My story

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

Noogie 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!

Noogie 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
- Recovering from a successful TPLO surgery
- Heartworm positive and on activity restriction. Noogie is undergoing treatment at Ellis Clinic at no charge to their adopter. Heartworm is a treatable disease that most dogs
make a full recovery from. You can learn more about heartworm treatment on our resource page - https://www.onetail.org/heartworm/

More about Noogie:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: No, Noogie has done better in his foster home with being left to roam free versus being crated or confined to a room. He's comfortable with 1 - 2 hours alone with a companion dog, but will do best with an adopter who is home more often than not.
Leash walking: Doing well!
Dog social: Yes, he lives with a resident dog in his foster home and has been doing well. He has shown some mild resource guarding behaviors so management is needed.
Cat social: Yes, he lives with cats in his foster home and has been doing great with them!
Kid friendly: He has done well in brief interactions with kids on walks


Noogie likes:
- Spending time with his person!
- Napping in the sun with his cat and dog pals
- Going for car rides, and helping you run your errands


Noogie is the definition of a gentle giant. He loves napping, cuddling, and being with his people. He would love a big fur family of cats and dogs. He will sometimes guard his treats, toys, beds, and people from other dogs. He should be fed separately, and management will be needed if in a home with another dog. He has struggled with anxiety when home alone, particularly when confined, and has done best with the help of medication and a dog pal to keep him company. He would likely do best in a home where he will not be alone often. Despite this challenge, he's calm, quiet, and an all-around great and majestic boy!


Noogie's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to be your loyal BFF!

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!
