My story

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

Blizzard 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!

Blizzard is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Currently receiving medicated baths for some skin irritation
- Currently taking medication for anxiety support when home alone
- Heartworm positive and on activity restriction. Blizzard 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 Blizzard:
Housebroken: Doing well overall, when on a consistent routine!
Crate trained: She is not super comfortable with being home alone, but has done well for up to 4 hours with the help of medication (or up to 2 hours without). She can take a short time to settle, and may cry/whimper before settling.
Leash walking: Great! She typically walks by your side, and has been gentle and friendly in meeting other dogs and people on walks.
Dog social: She has been friendly when meeting other dogs on walks, and seems most excited and playful around larger dogs
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: She has not interacted with kids closely while in our care, but she has been quiet and polite when passing kids on walks


Blizzard likes:
- Hot dogs! (hold the ketchup)
- Cuddling with her person
- Getting complimented on her excellent manners and beauty on walks



Blizzard is the sweetest, most gentle, loving dog. She wants nothing other than a good cuddle session and would make a great WFH buddy. She can be nervous at times with new experiences, but has been so brave and is learning that city noises, elevators, and bathtubs aren't so bad! She has been working to be more comfortable when home alone, as once she trusts you, she gets upset when her people leave. She has been doing much better with the help of medication and her adopter should help her continue to work on this as she adjusts to her new home and routine. She would love an adopter who can ensure she gets plenty of mental enrichment as she completes her heartworm treatment. She deserves the world and someone will bring home the best treat - a Blizzard!


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

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!
