Dobby 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!
Dobby is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- On a special diet to help with food sensitivities
More about Dobby:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone, for up to 8 hours.
Leash walking: He has shown reactivity toward other dogs and small critters on walks, but has been easy to redirect.
Dog social: He would be happiest as the only dog in the home, due to resource guarding behaviors
Cat social: He lived with cats in his prior home and did well with them, after a slow intro period.
Kid friendly: He has done well with kids 8+, but is not a match for younger kids due to resource guarding
Dobby likes:
- Playing fetch and tug
- Using his brain to work on puzzle toys and positive reinforcement training
- Going for sniff walks
Dobby adapts easily and is very well trained, responsive, smart, and fun. He loves playing and using his noggin, and is easily able to keep himself entertained. He can be left alone free roam for at least 8 hours, and sleeps most of the time. He has good energy and is light on his feet, and he quickly and easily learns new tricks. He has shown some resource guarding behaviors so will do best in a home without small kids or other dogs, but he has done well living with cats.
Dobby's adoption fee is $300, and he is excited to find his forever 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!
