My story

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

Cuyahoga is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster!

Cuyahoga is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
- Was recently treated for a wound on the bottom of his right front paw, and also shows signs of dental disease.

More about Cuyahoga:
Housebroken: Doing well overall, when on a consistent routine
Crate trained: Yes!
Leash walking: He has shown some reactivity to other dogs and to squirrels on walks, and would benefit from continuing to work on this!
Dog social: He lives with 2 resident dogs in his foster home and has been doing well with them
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Unknown


Cuyahoga likes:
- Snuggling in blanket piles
- Going for car rides
- Soft treats



Cuyahoga is a pint-sized bundle of joy! He loves burrowing deep into soft blankets, cuddling on laps, and getting all the scritches. He's a curious little fellow and when he looks up at you with his trusting eyes you can't help but smile and adore him! This boy could cuddle all day and be perfectly content. He had shown some initial mild protectiveness of his food and treats around the other dogs in the home, so this may need to be managed when around new dogs. He has been working on his leash confidence, and has overall proved to be adaptable once given a teeny bit of time to adjust!


Cuyahoga's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to cuddle with his forever familly!

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!
