Dog sociability: Likely with proper introduction and calm, cat-friendly pup!
Cat sociability: Likely with proper introduction!
Kid sociability: Likely with proper introduction!
Likes
Angel: hiding spots, being cozy, taking the time to thoroughly check out a situation before being a part of it
Giles: laps, pets, being cozy, meowing, jumping, playing and wrestling with his brother
Dislikes
Angel: sudden loud noises, being surprised, has hissed at his foster cat sister but seemingly more out of fear/surprise than aggression
Giles: sudden loud noises, when you don't have enough time to give him all the pets he needs!!
Bio:
Angel: This shy guy may take some time to warm up, but once he has, his loyalty is eternal! Angel is truly just that - a sweet, shy boy who loves to play and be with his people. While he is the most timid of his brothers, he seems to know that they are safe even amidst unknown situations or new people. Angel and Giles are often found snuggling together or grooming each other, and it's the loveliest thing. He loves to play and hasn't yet met a toy he doesn't like. Don't let his shyness fool you - his loud purrs and little head bonks will come out soon enough and capture your heart!
Giles: While he *technically* hasn't ever worked as a librarian, this little watcher has all the know-how and tools to make himself the sweetest! Giles is truly as sweet as they come, and is the first to climb into his foster mom's lap for snuggles. He has no shortage of meows to share, whether asking for food or pets, and loves to cuddle with his brothers/blanket/anything else he deems cozy enough. He can be a bit timid in new places, but as long as he's got a safe place to hide with his brother while he adjusts, he is good to go. This sweet baby has so much love to give and is so ready for his forever lap!
The adoption fee is $250. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

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!
