My story

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

Dump Truck 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!

Dump Truck is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Dump Truck is still receiving the core puppy vaccine series and will need additional vaccines after adoption to reach full immunization
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about Dump Truck:
Housebroken: Working on it! With a strict schedule and routine, she will catch on in no time
Crate trained: She has been left at home alone with free roam of a gated area for up to an hour so far. She can take a bit of time to settle, and would benefit from continuing to work on this!
Leash walking: She is working on building her confidence on leash with positive reinforcement!
Dog social: Yes! She lives with adult dogs in her foster home and has been doing well. She looks to them for comfort and guidance, and would likely enjoy having a confident dog pal in her future home.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Unknown




Dump Truck likes:
- Learning new things and solving puzzles
- Hanging out with her canine foster siblings
- Lickimats, squeaky toys, and chew toys!



Dump Truck is a sweet and playful dog who gets along with everyone, including other dogs. She’s gentle and respectful of boundaries, and her loving nature and friendly personality make her a joy to be around. She is also super smart and has been quickly picking up on new things, so would love a home where she can continue to build her confidence and master the basics. She would likely thrive in a home with an older, more experienced dog to help guide her and 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.

Dump Truck's adoption fee is $350, and this clever girl is ready to grow up in her forever home!

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!
