My story

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

Haniff 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!

Haniff is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Currently on medication for anxiety support
- Diagnosed with osteoarthritis, torn ACLs, and luxating patellas in his back legs, as well as some muscle twitches. He will have a neurologist appointment, covered by OTAT, to assess the twitching. He has been taking joint and pain meds to help with his leg issues.

More about Haniff:
Housebroken: Doing well overall when on a consistent routine with regular potty breaks
Crate trained: No, he does not like being crated and has done best with free roam when home alone for up to 8 hours.
Leash walking: Doing well overall but he can pull out of excitement to greet other people, dogs or critters.
Dog social: He has been very friendly when meeting other dogs on walks. He seems to love other dogs but he has to limit his play due to his leg issues.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: He has done well in interactions with respectful kids on walks, but may do best with older kids given his excitement during playtime.


Haniff likes:
- Meeting new dog friends
- Playing with his toys
- Keeping his brain busy!



Haniff has the personality of a busy, active toddler who routinely alternates between naps and playtime all day. He loves other dogs and is always excited to meet new dog pals. He can be super sweet and charming. He can be very enthusiastic but has to limit his physical activity due to his legs, so would do best in a home where he will get lots of mental enrichment to help him comfortably burn off some energy.


Haniff's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, so his adopter can spoil him a little extra!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

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!
