My story

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

Nacho is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey on our website to learn more about him and schedule a phone call or meet and greet with his foster.

Nacho is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Currently taking medication for anxiety support

More about Nacho:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone, which he prefers to being crated
Leash walking: He can be fearful outside, but has done well overall with some time and encouragement. He'd likely do best in a quieter lower-traffic area.
Dog social: Yes! Nacho loves dogs of all types and sizes! Because Nacho benefits from having a dog friend to help build his confidence, we are requiring his adopter to have another dog in the home.
Cat social: Yes! He lives with cats in his foster home and has been doing well after a slow, proper intro period.
Kid friendly: Unknown


Nacho likes:
- Stuffed squeaky toys!
- Chilling with his cat pals and playing with dog friends
- Showing off his smarts in exchange for snacks


Nacho is a handsome fellow who is so sweet and well-mannered. He is also smart and already knows sit, paw, and down. He loves plush squeaky toys and has the funniest way of pouncing on them. He can take a minute to warm up, and would appreciate a patient adopter who can give him time, space, and treats to help him warm up and decompress. He would also prefer a quieter area to take his walks, where he will feel less nervous. Once he's comfortable with you, he will look at you with love in his eyes and melt your heart!


Nacho's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter!

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!
