My story

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

Dog sociability: Likely with proper introduction!
Cat sociability: Likely with proper introduction!
Kid sociability: Likely with proper introduction and older children! He does not do well around screaming or shrieking.

Likes: Physical contact, a warm human, snuggling, sticking his tongue out, purring loudly, heating pads, lickable treats, looking out the window, bird toys, crinkle balls, giving gentle kisses.

Dislikes: Loud noises (vacuum cleaner, coffee grinder, hair dryer) and getting in his cat carrier. Does not love the car but is not distraught while riding.

Bio: Meet Archibald (his friends call him Archie for short)! This 9-year-old orange and white gentleman is as charming as his name suggests. Archie is the ultimate cuddle connoisseur and thinks your lap is the coziest spot in the world. Don’t be surprised if he gives you a gentle paw tap to remind you he’s ready for more love—it’s his polite way of saying, “Don’t stop now!” Archie’s hobbies include bird-watching, smacking his toys around, and making every day a little brighter with his sweet, snuggly nature. He’s litter box trained and would love a quiet home with someone ready to spoil him with endless affection. One cuddle session with Archie, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without him!

The adoption fee is $100. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

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!
