My story

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

Morton Salt 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!

Morton Salt is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Heartworm positive and on activity restriction. Morton Salt 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 Morton Salt:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Working on it! He can be nervous to go into his crate, but will settle once inside, for up to 2 hours so far.
Leash walking: Working on it! He has been gaining confidence on leash, and will pause to say hi to other dogs and humans
Dog social: He has been friendly when meeting other dogs on walks
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: He has done well in interactions with toddlers


Morton Salt likes:
- Stopping to greet new friends on walks
- Cuddling with his people
- Trying to solve puzzle toys!



Morton Salt (Morty) is a chill fellow who is adapting quickly to becoming a house dog. He started out quite timid on the leash, afraid of doorways and stairs, and in disbelief that food and water would really be provided twice a day. He is a gentle giant who doesn't realize he is probably too big to be a lap dog, and will gladly accept all the head and belly rubs you are willing to give him. He has been coming out of his shell and showing his goofy personality, playing with toys and learning how to dog. We are excited to continue to watch him grow!


Morton Salt's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to solicit all the head rubs in his new home!

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!
