My story

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

Strega Nona 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!

Strega Nona is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Nona had a large abscess on her chest that was drained and treated while in our care, and for which the resulting wound is still healing. Her adopter should follow up with their primary vet.

More about Strega Nona:
Housebroken: yes!
Crate trained: She has done well with free roam when home alone, for up to 2 hours so far.
Leash walking: Doing well!
Dog social: She lives with 2 small dogs in her foster home and has been doing well. She has shown some signs of guarding her food with the dogs, who also guard their food, so should be fed separately when with other dogs. She is playful with other small dogs!
Cat social: Yes, she lives with a dog-savvy cat in her foster home and has been doing well after a slow intro period
Kid friendly: Unknown


Strega Nona likes:
- Being complimented on her gorgeous lashes
- Going for walks and meeting new friends
- Cuddling with her person!


Nona loves people and is always happy to snuggle up with you when you're working or watching TV, or on her own, circled up in her bed. She's curious outside, loves to sniff and check out the world. She stares lovingly into your eyes and makes an amazing connection. She's smart and inquisitive, and she'll be a lovely companion!


Strega Nona's adoption fee is $150, and she is ready to stare lovingly into her forever person's eyes!

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!
