My story

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

Pixie is at our Adoption Center! 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.

Pixie is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
Housebroken: Seems to be! Many pups will have a few potty accidents as they learn a new routine, but a schedule, frequent breaks and positive reinforcement are all that's needed to encourage good habits.
Crate trained: Unknown
Leash walking: Learning! Pixie just arrived from our partner in rural Arkansas, and she's getting the hang of the big city. She'd love some positive reinforcement to help her gain confidence as she learns the ropes.
Dog social: Pixie is reported to be friendly with other dogs!
Cat social: She has not met or been exposed to cats that we know of
Kid friendly: Pixie has been reported to do well with kids by her transfer shelter, but has not interacted with them since arriving to OTAT

Heartworm positive and on activity restriction. Pixie is undergoing treatment at Ellis
Clinic at no charge to their adopter. Heartworm is a treatable disease that most dogs
make a full recovery from. You can learn more about heartworm treatment on our
resource page - https://www.onetail.org/heartworm/

Pixie likes:
- Gentle scratches
- Cuddling
- Snacks

Pixie is a sweet and beautiful girl who just arrived from our rescue partner in Arkansas. This gentle girl is reported to be friendly with other dogs, and has been settling in very well since arriving to OTAT. Check back for updates as we learn more about this sweetie!

Pixie's adoption fee is $300, and this lovely girl is so excited find a home for the holidays!

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!
