My story

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

Shrimp Cocktail will be at our Adoption Center Sunday, December 15th. 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.

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

More about Shrimp Cocktail:
Housebroken: Working on it and almost there! He will need to keep working on this with positive reinforcement training and a consistent routine.
Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone for up to 4 hours, with another dog to keep him company
Leash walking: He can be excitable on leash and would benefit from working on this with rewards-based training!
Dog social: He lives with a resident dog in his foster home and has been doing well overall. He is very playful and is still learning to read cues.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: He has been friendly and gentle when meeting kids on walks


Shrimp Cocktail likes:
- Sleeping with his tongue out
- Cuddling with his person
- Relaxing so deeply that he just melts



Shrimp Cocktail is a super sweet and gentle boy who just wants to be near you. He loves to relax but is also game for walks and playtime, so is a good balance of fun and chill. He enjoys romping around with a dog pal and going for walks, and is learning to rein in his energy and redirect any mouthing (play biting) to appropriate toys. He would appreciate an adopter who can help him keep working on calm manners with positive reinforcement.


Shrimp Cocktail's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to snuggle up with his forever family!

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!
