My story

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

Rashida 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!

Rashida is:
Spayed: 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

More about Rashida:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Yes! She has done well at home alone in her rate for up to 12 hours
Leash walking: She has shown some reactivity/frustration when she sees other dogs on walks, and can then pull. She would benefit from continuing to work on this with positive reinforcement.
Dog social: She has dog friends but can be selective, and would do best with a slow intro to well-matched dogs
Cat social: Unknown, but she lives successfully with a guinea pig in her foster home
Kid friendly: She has done well in brief interactions with kids on walks, but may do best with older kids given her excitability


Rashida likes:
- Being the perfect balance of party girl and nap queen
- Showing off her smarts by learning new tricks!
- Getting complimented on her winning smile and perfect brows


Rashida is an amazingly bright and quirky girl. She learns tricks so easily and knows what you want from her. She has zany bouts of energy followed by hours of rest and sleep. In her sleep she frequently dreams where she'll be running, wagging her tail, soft barking, and licking her lips. She has shown some mouthy (play biting) behavior when overstimulated. She would appreciate an adopter who can help her to channel this energy in positive ways, like working on a puzzle toy or stuffed Kong. She has dog pals with whom she loves to play, but has done best with a slow intro to make sure it is a good match. This clever girl will make a happy addition to her future home!



Rashida's adoption fee is $300, and she is dreaming of her new life with you!

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!
