My story

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

Hawk 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!

Hawk is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about Hawk:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: No, but he has done well with free roam when home alone, which he prefers to being crated.
Leash walking: Doing well overall!
Dog social: Yes! He lives with a confident and playful resident dog in his foster home and has been doing very well. His own confidence seems to really improve with another dog's company, so he will need to be adopted into a home with a dog friend.
Cat social: Not a match
Kid friendly: Likely not a match, as he has seemed fearful of kids playing or shouting when he passes them on walks

Hawk likes:
- Getting in his fruits and veggies - he loves a healthy snack!
- Yak chews, squeaky/crinkly toys, and puzzle games
- Playing with a dog pal!

Hawk is a cuddly little guy who wants nothing more than to be with his person and his dog sibling. He is the cuddliest boy who loves to take naps with his head tucked under your chin or perched on your shoulder. When he wants attention while you're working, he'll climb up into your lap so that you can pet him. Hawk loves to squeeze himself into one dog bed with his foster brother, but is also the most playful boy, and loves to show off to his dog pal by doing wild parkour zoomies, barrel rolls and somersaults.

Hawk's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to settle into his perfect forever home!

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!
