My story

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

Power Wheels 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!

Power Wheels is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Currently on deworming medication

More about Power Wheels:
Housebroken: Doing well when on a consistent routine, going out every 3-4 hours
Crate trained: Doing well after taking ~10 minutes to settle. She has been left at home alone in her crate for up to 9 hours, and has done well in her crate overnight.
Leash walking: She is a strong girl and can tend to pull after squirrels, so would benefit from continuing to work on loose leash walking
Dog social: Yes! She lives with a resident dog in her foster home and has been doing well
Cat social: Unknown, but she has shown prey drive toward squirrels on walks
Kid friendly: She has done well in very brief meetings of older kids on walks. She is likely best suited to older kids due to her excitability.


Power Wheels likes:
- Going for car rides (OF COURSE!)
- Solving puzzle toys or playing with her favorite squeaky elephant toy
- Hopping into your lap for a cuddle session


Power Wheels is so sweet and affectionate, and just wants to be close to you at all times to cuddle, especially on the couch when you're watching TV. She loves throwing around stuffed toys and to be wrapped up all cozy in blankets and tucked in. She is also great to run with if you're a runner! She has been working on her leash manners, and would appreciate an adopter who can help her keep up with her loose leash walking training. This adaptable girl would likely do well in many types of homes!

Power Wheels's adoption fee is $300, and she is ready to pow-pow-power her way 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!
