Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Dog sociability: Yes, with proper introduction! They are good with the resident small dog Mikey who loves to play with them.
Cat sociability: Yes, with proper introduction! Love the resident cat!
Kid sociability: Likely with proper introduction!
Likes: Pets, ribbon toys, snuggling up for a nap, pestering their sibling
Dislikes: When a sibling bites too hard. Rich Magee (white) does not love to be held.
Bio: Fancy Pants (F) and Rich MCGee (M) live up to their decadent names with their immense beauty. Fancy Pants has gorgeous brown tipped eats, feet, and tail while having some unique orange spots mixed in. Rich McGee is like a perfectly toasted marshmallow. Fancy and Rich are both chatty kitties. They are unafraid to let you know that dinner is late, that their sibling is playing too hard, that they would like pets, or simply that they are there. Fancy Pants is a sweet little baby who loves to be held and demands pets anytime she is in your vicinity. Rich McGee is the more mischievous of the pair, taking every opportunity he can to try to pounce on his sister and his fosters feet. Rich is not as happy being held, but will gladly take pets for hours on the floor or couch, even rolling to his back for some soft belly rubs. These two love to play and adore stringy toys and anything that makes a sound, but their favorite activity is getting pets. If you aren't petting them you'll likely find them curled up napping together or wrestling each other.
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!
