My story

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

Almond Joy 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!

Almond Joy is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about AJ:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Yes!
Leash walking: She has shown some reactivity to other dogs and to some male-presenting strangers on walks, and would benefit from continuing to work on this
Dog social: She has not had close interaction with other dogs while in our care
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: She has done well in interactions with respectful older kids (12+)


AJ likes:
- Playing tug
- Napping in a sunny spot
- Cuddling with her person



Almond Joy is a sweet, cuddly girl who loves to start her morning by finding any space near a window to sunbathe. She loves to go on walks and play tug of war, then lounge on the couch once she's tired out, usually snoring loudly. She loves to be around her people, but is also great at self entertaining and will play with her toys or chew on her bones next to you. She is also smart and food-motivated, so loves to learn and use her brain. She would thrive in a home where she'll get plenty of mental enrichment, in addition to all the snuggles.

AJ has been taking behavior support medication to aid in her training goals.

Almond Joy's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supported, and she is ready to give her heart to her new family!

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 shelter

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!
