My story

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

Oakley 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!

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

More about Oakley:
Housebroken: Doing well when on a consistent routine with frequent potty breaks, every 2-3 hours.
Crate trained: He has been left at home alone in his crate for up to 6 hours so far, and has done well overall after taking 10-20 minutes to settle initially
Leash walking: Working on it! He is still getting the hang of leash walking and does not typically pull, but has been working on not zig-zagging with positive reinforcement.
Dog social: He lives with a resident dog in his foster home and has been doing very well.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: He has done well in interactions with kids of various ages!


Oakley likes:
- Zooming around with a dog pal, or settling in with an enrichment toy
- Snuggling with you on the couch
- Being a respectful king, despite his adorably cartoonish exterior!



Oakley is a sweet, goofy, and lovable pup who will make a great addition to any family. He is curious about the world and growing more and more confident every day. He'll race and chase outside but when he comes inside he's content to snuggle with a stuffed animal on the floor or cozy up on the couch. As a clever adolescent, he'd love a home where he can keep working on the basics with positive reinforcement, and where he'll get plenty of mental enrichment and physical activity to keep him engaged and fulfilled!


Oakley's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to fill your home with love and laughter!

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!
