Dog sociability: Possibly after proper introduction, depending on the dog. She'd do best with a dog that left her alone for the most part, but could definitely coexist.
Cat sociability: Possibly after proper introduction, if they respect her space.
Kid sociability: Possibly, if they approach calmly and gently. Could definitely do well with older children who understand boundaries.
Likes: napping, sitting next to you, head pets, churu treats, being brushed (sometimes)
Dislikes: brushing her behind, tummy touches, being surprised or approached quickly
Bio:
Groundhog is a gentle older gal who knows what she wants! She loves companionship as much as she likes her alone time. She will often come crying if she hasn't been able to sit near you for a while. Though when she is near you, she does not want or need constant attention! She loves head pets but likes her space. She'll often sit and purr just being beside you! Her meows are the cutest and her temperament is sweet.
The adoption fee is $100. 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!
