My story

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

Pink Pony 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!

Pink Pony is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Pink Pony was successfully treated for Parvo while in our care, and has recovered well.

More about Pink Pony:
Housebroken: Working on it! She can be a little nervous about going to the bathroom on walks, and has preferred to potty in her foster's yard. She will need to keep working on this with positive reinforcement and a consistent routine.
Crate trained: No, she is not yet comfortable with being home alone and can become distressed when her person leaves home without her. She will need a patient adopter who can help her work on this over time, and may do best with someone who is home more often than not.
Leash walking: She can be a bit nervous on walks, and may do best in a quieter area as well as working on her confidence with positive reinforcement training.
Dog social: She has not had close interaction with other dogs while in our care, but has seemed timid when encountering other dogs on walks
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: She lives successfully with a respectful 10-year-old in her foster home, though may not be a match for younger kids given her timidity.


Pink Pony likes:
- Belly rubs!
- Being near her person, preferably in your arms or on your lap
- Chasing after tiny tennis balls



Pink Pony craves to be loved and held, and she is the definition of a lap dog. This shy girl is learning to brave all the stimulus of the big city around her, and would love a patient adopter who can help her work on her confidence with positive reinforcement. She is very attached to her humans, so has struggled with being home alone, and may do best in a home where someone will be around more often than not. She has so much love to give and will be the most devoted little companion!


Pink Pony's adoption fee is $300, and she can't wait to curl up in her forever person's arms!

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!
