My story

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

Elvis 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!

Elvis is:
Neutered: 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

More about Elvis:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Yes! He has done well in his crate overnight, and when home alone for up to 4 hours so far.
Leash walking: Doing well overall. He can sometimes pull toward dogs, squirrels, and bunnies out of excitement, but he has been pretty easy to redirect with treats.
Dog social: He lives with a resident dog in his foster home and has been doing well overall, but he has shown some protectiveness of his humans with the other dog.
Cat social: Unknown, but he has shown prey drive toward small critters on walks
Kid friendly: Unknown


Elvis likes:
- Going for long walks
- Cuddling with his person (or a dog pal)
- Making you laugh with his hilarious antics


Elvis is a hilarious unicorn of a dog! He loves long walks outside, sniffing and exploring the neighborhood, learning new tricks, belly rubs and cuddling. This active kid would love a home where he will get plenty of mental enrichment and physical activity to keep him engaged and fulfilled. He has shown some resource guarding behaviors toward his humans with another dog in the home, so this may need to be managed if adopted into a home with a resident dog. He is very affectionate and would be an amazing pup for someone who loves activities outdoors, lots of snuggles, and a little cookies-n-creme shadow!


Elvis's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to cuddle and explore with his forever person!

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!
