Nova 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!
Nova is:
Spayed: Not yet, she will need to be spayed at 12 months old due to her congenital spinal abnormality.
Up to date on vaccines: Nova is still receiving her core puppy vaccine series and will need one additional vaccine after adoption to reach full immunization
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
More about Nova:
Housebroken: Working on it! With a strict schedule and routine, she will catch on in no time
Crate trained: She has done well in her crate overnight, but has not been left at home alone much yet. She can take a short time to settle initially when home solo, and will need to keep working on this!
Leash walking: She is still learning and can tend to bark at other dogs. She would benefit from working on her confidence on leash.
Dog social: She lives with a resident dog in her foster home and has been doing well, after taking a little time to feel comfortable.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: She lives with dog-savvy toddlers in her foster home and has been doing well overall, though she can be a little excitable
Nova has a congenital abnormality of the spine called kyphosis. Her adopter should be ready to monitor her gait as she grows and follow up with their primary vet for further care.
Nova likes:
- Chasing grasshoppers and ice cubes
- Cuddling on the couch during the evening news
- Giving kisses and cuddles
Nova is a wonderful, playful pup who is curious about the world and explores it with adorable excitement. She has done well living with kids and a dog pal, and is learning to master potty and crate training too! She'd appreciate an adopter who can help her to channel her puppy energy in positive ways, like redirecting to an appropriate toy, and she would love a home where she'll get plenty of mental enrichment, physical activity, and socialization to set her up for success as she continues to grow!
OTAT requires that all dogs 6 months and under be enrolled in a positive reinforcement training program within 2 weeks of their adoption at their adopter's expense.
Nova's adoption fee is $350, and this sweet girl is ready to grow into her ears in her forever home! She is not yet spayed and will go home with a contract plus a $50 deposit for that to be done at a later date at Ellis Clinic.
Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/
*** Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours. For additional questions, email adopt@onetail.org ***

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!
