My story

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

Thelma 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!

Thelma is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about Thelma:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Thelma has struggled with separation distress when home completely alone, and will bark and howl for about 30 min in her crate. If she is left with another dog she will whine for a few minutes and is then fine. She will need to keep working on this once in her new home.
Leash walking: Doing well!
Dog social: Friendly. She seems to gain confidence and comfort from being around dogs around her size.
Cat social: She has done well in interactions with cats
Kid friendly: Unknown, but we suspect she may do best with respectful older kids as she can become nervous with sudden movements or loud sounds


Thelma likes:
- Sleeping on her back with her feet in the air
- Strutting on leash like a prancing princess
- Being your loving little shadow


Thelma is looking for her perfect Louise...and hopes it might be you! She is extremely loving and devoted to her humans! As such, she can struggle when left at home completely alone and would appreciate a patient adopter who can help her work on this over time. She can also be sensitive to loud noises, so would benefit from working on here confidence with positive reinforcement and may prefer a quieter neighborhood for her walks.


Thelma's adoption fee is $300, and she is ready to prance into her future home!

Adoption application

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!
