My story

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

Gilbert is at our Adoption Center! You can visit our Adoption Center at any time during open hours, no appointment needed. Fill out our quick adoption survey on our website before visiting to streamline the process.

Gilbert is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about Gilbert:
Housebroken: Almost! He has been doing well overall on a consistent routine and with positive reinforcement.
Crate trained: He has done well in his crate overnight (up to 9 hours) as well as when home alone (up to 3 hours). He can take some time to settle when he is crated while his human is still home, and will bark for a short time initially.
Leash walking: Doing well! He has had very good leash manners so far!
Dog social: He lives with a resident dog in his foster home and has been doing well! He has also done great on playdates with other dogs.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Unknown, but he would likely do best with older kids as he can become mouthy (play bite) when overstimulated


Gilbert likes:
- Stuffed toys, chew toys...all the toys!
- Being near his person
- Learning new things!



Gilbert is truly the sweetest little man - from his gentle snores during nap time to his little flops for scratches. He is so smart, so silly, and extremely loving and just wants to be with you (and his toys). We don't think he fully knows where his legs are just yet so he's a very adorably floppy boy right now. He can become slightly mouthy (play bite) when overstimulated, but has been easily redirected to an appropriate toy. He has otherwise been doing well with learning all the basics, and would love a home where he can continue to learn more and more!


Gilbert's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to give his love to his person!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

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!
