My story

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

Carmen Sandiego 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!

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

More about Carmen:
Housebroken: Almost! She has done best on a consistent routine, but she can still have occasional accidents so will need to keep working on this as she adjusts to her new home and schedule.
Crate trained: No, she struggles to settle when crated but she has done well with free roam when home alone for up to 4 hours, as well as overnight.
Leash walking: Great! She doesn't pull and is only distracted by all the great sniff opportunities.
Dog social: She lives with a resident dog in her foster home and has been doing well. She is very playful, and she would likely be best matched with other playful, tolerant dogs.
Cat social: She has been kept separated from the older cat in her foster home, as she wants to give chase.
Kid friendly: Unknown


Carmen likes:
- Taking out all her toys and swinging them around
- Hopping like a rabbit, and improving her vertical
- Snuggling!



Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego's future family? She is looking for *you*!

Carmen is a fun and sassy girl who loves to play and be active. She would thrive in a home where she'll get plenty of mental and physical activity, as well as basic rewards-based training, to keep her engaged and set her up for success. This little spitfire loves to play with other dogs, but can be a little spicy in her play, so is best matched with tolerant and playful dog friends.


Carmen's adoption fee is $300, and she is ready to find her perfect home!

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!
