My story

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

Stella 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!

Stella is:
Spayed: No, she will be spayed at a later date and a $50 refundable spay deposit will be required.
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Heartworm positive and on activity restriction. Stella 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 Stella:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: She has done well in her crate overnight, but sometimes has difficulty settling when home alone in her crate.
Leash walking: Working on it! She has been building her confidence on walks, with positive reinforcement.
Dog social: Yes! She lives with a resident dog in her foster home and has been doing well. She is friendly and playful, and enjoys having a dog pal to show her the ropes!
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Unknown, but she may do best with slightly older kids as she can be easily startled


Stella likes:
- Helping you clean up any crumbs after meals
- Having a dog friend to play with and help her feel confident
- Collecting stuffed toys in her crate


Stella with her cookies and cream coloring is a total sweetheart! She has been coming out of her shell and building her confidence a little more each day, and is learning all about how fun sniffy walks can be while working on her city girl skills. She is very aware of sights and sounds while on walks and needs some encouragement to keep walking when startled.

Stella's adoption fee is $300, and she is ready to be your gorgeous, smiley shadow!

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!
