Big Bird 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!
Big Bird is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Big Bird is still receiving his 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
More about Big Bird:
Housebroken: Working on it! With a strict schedule and routine, he will catch on in no time
Crate trained: Working on it! He can take a short time to settle initially, but has been left at home alone for up to 4 hours in his crate.
Leash walking: He is still new to leash walking and can get excited when he sees other dogs on walks
Dog social: He lives with a resident dog in his foster home and has been doing well overall
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Unknown
Big Bird likes:
- Curling up in his person's lap
- Giving and receiving kisses
- Playing with a dog pal or his toys
He is very playful so is likely best matched with other playful, tolerant dogs who can handle rambunctious puppy energy! He has shown some mild resource guarding of a very high value treat from another dog, so management may be needed. As an active and clever pup, he would thrive in a home where he'll get plenty of mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and set him up for success as he matures. He would also benefit from having positive outlets for any chewing/mouthing (play biting) energy he has, and he will do best with an adopter who is ready for all the stages that puppyhood and being an adolescent brings.
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.
Big Bird's adoption fee is $350, and this "Big" pup is excited to find his Snuffleupagus!
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!
