My story

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

Violet 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!

Violet is:
Spayed: 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
- Currently taking supplements for joint health, as she has a history of luxating patellas

More about Violet:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: She has done well with free roam when home alone!
Leash walking: She has shown reactivity to other dogs and will bark and pull on leash when she encounters other dogs. She will need too keep working on this, and may do best in a quieter neighborhood.
Dog social: No, she would prefer to be the only dog in her future home.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Unknown


Violet likes:
- Sitting on your lap when you need emotional support during long Zoom meetings
- Stuffed toys and Lickimats
- Napping on her favorite blanket


Violet loves love. She's an incredibly flexible dog and will mold to your routine, especially when it comes to hanging around the house, but she loves any time she gets to be close to you and get lots of pets. Her ears are at a perpetual "one up one down" status, which is incredibly cute. While she is happy to share everything with you, she prefers not to share a home with other dogs. She'll be content in any home that can give her lots of love and attention and allow her to be the only pup in the house.


Violet's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, so her adopter can spoil her a little extra!

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/

*** Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours. For additional questions, email adopt@onetail.org ***

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!
