Lil Mama 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!
Lil Mama is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
More about Lil Mama:
Housebroken: Yes!

Leash walking: She usually walks slowly and with a loose leash, but has shown some reactivity toward other dogs. Her adopter will also be offered a free spot in our virtual leash reactivity training class.
Dog social: She would likely do best as the only dog in her future home, but has been able to have well-matched dog pals outside of the home.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Lil Mama would do best in an adult only home
Lil Mama likes:
- Relaxing in her jammies
- Dissecting stuffed toys
- Getting massages and cuddling with her people
Looking for a low-maintenance, lovable companion with a little bit of sass? Lil Mama is your girl! This sweet senior is all about cozy naps, belly rubs, and keeping you company throughout the day. And she's actually smaller than she looks. She’s completely potty trained, loves her daily walks, and enjoys a little playtime—especially a good game of tug!
Lil Mama has a very special talent: she’s a professional stuffie destroyer! But don’t worry—she doesn’t eat the stuffing, just enjoys the thrill of tearing them apart. Think of it as her version of a good puzzle!
When she’s not playing, she’s all about relaxation. She lives for massages and will happily melt into you for belly rubs and head scratches. She’s great with people but prefers to be the only dog in the home so she can soak up all the love. Senior dogs like Lil Mama deserve just as much love as the young pups, and she’s ready to spend her golden years as your loyal, loving sidekick. Come meet her today—she can’t wait to find her forever home!
Lil Mama has some orthopedic issues, and like many senior pups, has been taking medication and joint supplements to help manage this. You can see in her videos, nothing slows her down! She lives in a foster home with three flights of stairs and she goes up and down them on her own. Stairs are actually part of her exercises to build strength! She has been taking behavior support medication to aid in her training goals.
Lil Mama's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, so her adopter can spoil her a little extra!

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!
