My story

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

Hiccups 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!

Hiccups is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Hiccups is still receiving his core vaccine series and will need one additional vaccine after adoption to reach full immunization
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about Hiccups:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Doing well! He's done well in his crate for up to 6 hours when home alone, and overnight.
Leash walking: He has been reactive to other dogs on walks, and can then bark and pull. He will need to keep working on this, and his adopter will be offered a free spot in our virtual leash reactivity training class!
Dog social: Hiccups needs to be the only dog in the home.
Cat social: He lives with a cat in his foster home and has been doing well after a slow, proper intro period.
Kid friendly: He has done well in spending time with a baby, and was very gentle


Hiccups has no known medical needs beyond routine wellness care

Hiccups likes:
- Cuddling with you on the couch and giving kisses
- Watching the neighborhood activity from the window
- Playing with his beloved Gumby toy

Hiccups is a cuddly and sweet boy who just recently arrived in Chicago as part of Hurricane Helene relief efforts. He has been excited to learn all about life in the big city, and would love a home that can help him decompress and learn the ropes. He has shown reactivity to other dogs he sees on walks, and would appreciate an adopter who can help him work on this with positive reinforcement training. He is playful and loving, and would enjoy a home where he can continue to keep his brain busy and get plenty of snuggles!

Hiccups's adoption fee is $300, and he is excited to find his pawfect 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!
