My story

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

Rocket 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!

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

More about Rocket:
Housebroken: Doing well when on a consistent routine, going out every few hours
Crate trained: He has done well in his crate overnight, but can take some time to settle when left at home alone in his crate so he will need to work on this once in his new home.
Leash walking: Doing well! He can pull slightly and while this has been very manageable, he would benefit from continuing to work on loose leash walking skills.
Dog social: He has lived with resident dogs in a prior foster home and had been doing well. He is friendly and playful. He can be protective of his food, so should be fed separately from other dogs.
Cat social: He has done well in living with a cat after a slow, proper intro period.
Kid friendly: He has lived with older kids in his foster home and did very well with them!


Rocket likes:
- Playing with dog pals, or a stuffed toy
- Going for long walks
- Cuddling with his person


Rocket is a dream dog who loves to snuggle. He is a smart puppy who seems to just want to please the people around him, and the fact that he is so food motivated makes him so easily trainable! He is also playful and might just be the king of the pounce!!! He enjoys having dog friends to play with, but does need to be fed separately as he can be protective of his food. He can sometimes become a little jumpy and mouthy (play bite) when he is overly excited, but he has been easy to redirect too an appropriate toy. This fun young fella would love a home where he'll get plenty of mental enrichment and physical activity, and can keep working on the basics with positive reinforcement!


Rocket's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to pounce into your heart!

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!
