My story

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

Rambo 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!

Rambo is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Currently taking medication for anxiety support when home alone

More about Rambo:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: No, he has done better with free roam when home alone and he tends to struggle to settle when his person leaves home without him.
Leash walking: Doing well! He's been friendly with all people and loves to interact with other dogs on walks.
Dog social: Yes! He lives with a resident dog in his foster home and has been doing well, though he can sometimes become possessive of his human from the other dog.
Cat social: He lives with a cat in his foster home and has been doing well after a slow, proper intro period.
Kid friendly: He has done well in interactions with kids ages 6+


Rambo likes:
- Laying with/on his people
- Having the energy of a youngster with the chill maturity and tolerance of a senior
- Getting massages, especially belly rubs!



He may be named Rambo but he's a snuggler, not a fighter! The only things he will knock you out with are his winning personality and his loving demeanor. He is affectionate and social, and gets along with other dogs, cats, and kids. He can sometimes become a bit possessive of his person from other animals in the home, so it is advised that his adopter monitor and manage this if in the home with other pets or multiple people.


Rambo's adoption fee is $150, and he is ready to give his love to his person!

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!
