My story

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

Dilly Dally 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!

Dilly Dally is:
Spayed: 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
- Heartworm positive and on activity restriction. Dilly Dally is undergoing treatment at Ellis Clinic at no charge to their adopter. Heartworm is a treatable disease that most dogs
make a full recovery from. You can learn more about heartworm treatment on our resource page - https://www.onetail.org/heartworm/

More about Dilly Dally:
Housebroken: Not yet, she still has accidents and will need a patient adopter to help her keep working on this with positive reinforcement and a consistent routine.
Crate trained: She is not yet super comfortable being home alone in her crate, and can take some time (30+ minutes) to settle. She will need to keep working on this over time once in her new home.
Leash walking: Doing well and does not pull
Dog social: She lives with a resident dog in her foster home and has been doing well overall, but prefers to coexist rather than engage or play with the other dog in the home. She may prefer to be only dog in home but may be able to live with calm dog that prefers to coexist rather than play.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Will likely do well with older kids and is not a match for kids under 12 years of age


Dilly Dally likes:
- Being near her person...the closer, the better!
- Going for car rides
- Being complimented on her leash manners, and her obvious good looks!


Dilly Dally is a very loyal and sweet gal who loves to be close to her person. She will happily provide moral support when you work from home, or join you when running errands. She is a loose leash walking queen who is calm and collected, and will walk right next to you without pulling. She is still working on housebreaking and being comfortable when home alone, so will appreciate a patient adopter who can help her with these skills!


Dilly Dally's adoption fee is $300, and she is ready to be your little shadow!

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!
