My story

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

Pierogi is living 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.

Pierogi is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Pierogi is still receiving her core puppy vaccine series and will need one additional vaccine after adoption to reach full immunization
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Currently receiving medicated shampoos for some hair loss on her ears

More about Pierogi:
Housebroken: Not yet, but working on it!
Crate trained: Doing well overall! She is left alone on weekdays from 8-5 with one midday potty break and walk.
Leash walking: She has been fearful outside and can get distracted easily. She will need to work on this with positive reinforcement, and may do best in a quieter area.
Dog social: She lives with a resident dog in her foster home and has been doing well after a slow intro period. She has shown some protectiveness of her food and human, with the other dog, so management may be needed when around other dogs.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Unknown


Pierogi likes:
- Going for car rides
- Peanut butter-filled Kongs
- Being as close to her person as possible



Pierogi's dream is to be cuddled up next to you or lying on top of you at all times. She is the sweetest little dumpling just looking for consistent love, attention, and snacks! She has been working to build up her confidence and trust, and would love a patient adopter who will give her time, space, and positive reinforcement as she warms up and experiences new things. Pierogi will do best with an adopter who is ready for all the stages that puppyhood and being an adolescent brings. After living the stray life she is ready for a life of luxury with a cozy place to sleep and consistent meals for her Pierogi filling!

OTAT requires that all dogs 6 months and under be enrolled in a positive reinforcement training program within 2 weeks of their adoption at their adopter's expense.

Pierogi's adoption fee is $350, and this sweet girl can't wait to find her forever family!

Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/

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!
