My story

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

Harrison 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 Harrison's foster!
Harrison is:
Spayed/Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is
finalized
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Yes! He will whine for less than 10 minutes and then settle into his crate
for the day. 
Leash walking: Harrison is mostly great on leash, but can get overstimulated and react to things like small animals and joggers. He'd do great in a quieter area where he can practice his leash skills.
Dog social: Yes! Harrison plays really well with other dogs and has had no issues
making friends. He is still learning about boundaries/taking "no" for an answer when it comes to wrestling, so he will need some management if living with another dog. 
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Unknown
Harrison likes:
- Cuddling and spending calm, relaxing days at home with his person watching the Great British Baking Show!
- Snoozing on the sofa
- Wrestling matches with his doggie friends

If Harrison had a motto, it would be ABT - Always Be Touching - he loves to snuggle! This cuddle bug has a big personality, and loves to make new friends, both human and canine. Like all young dogs, Harrison has some energy, but is also great at embracing chill time and snuggling up with his person. He loves to play with other dogs, and does best with more physical players who like to wrestle. He is housetrained, and super food motivated, making positive reinforcement training a pleasure with this smart guy. Harrison's new family will be so lucky - is that you?


Harrison's adoption fee is $300 and he is ready to meet his family!
Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and

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!
