Dog Sociability: Yes, with proper introduction and a pig-friendly pup!
Cat Sociability: Likely with proper introduction!
Kid Sociability: Likely with proper introduction!
Likes: They both love each other and often sleep in the same wooden tunnel at night. Scratch loves a warm greeting and chin/cheek scratches right away through his enclosure. Sniff prefers to go slow and have a piece of lettuce on hand when greeting him. Both love carrots, parsley, cilantro, the crunch of romaine lettuce, and strawberries. Sniff loves his tunnels and will nap in them all day, if you let him. Scratch will eat pretty much anything you put in front of him and you will find him snacking on hay allll day long. Food is the best way to get to his heart. Both love to be carried and snuggled, especially chin scratches and back of their neck. They also love to hang on the couch and snuggle up for to watch some Netflix.
Dislikes: Both boys take some time to warm up and prefer to go slow, especially Sniff. Scratch will come up to you to greet you, but Sniff isn't a fan of people (or dogs) coming in the room too fast and will hide at first. Neither of them prefer to be picked up, but are very happy to be held and petted.
Bio: These are the two happiest boys around!
They know when breakfast & dinner is coming and will make happy squeaks to just the fridge door opening for their salad. During the day, you will find Sniff snuggled up in his blankets inside a tunnel, and Scratch snacking away in the corner on some hay. They both love their enrichment toys in their pen and you will find little nibbles taken out of their wooden toys.
After dinner, they come out of their enclosure for a late night snack of either a cookie or a small veggie/fruit to enjoy some floor and couch time. They both are excited to get some scratches on their cheeks, necks, and chins (Scratch LOVES a good chin scratch). They will both coo and purr with the human bonding time.
Then when it's bedtime, they often choose a hiding spot together and snuggle up with one another for a good nights rest.
They both love each other very much and never needed to be separated for personal space, but do need time to warm up. Once they are comfortable, they will talk to you and bounce around their enclosure playing with one another.
The adoption fee is $50 for a bonded pair.

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!
