- Chilling with his people on the couch, ideally with snuggles involved
- Learning new things
Papacito is a playful, affectionate pup with a heart full of love and a gentle, respectful soul. He'd be thrilled to have a playful doggy sibling, but he’s also perfectly content as a solo dog – as long as he gets plenty of love from his humans! He’s currently living with a resident dog who prefers her space, and he’s incredibly respectful of her boundaries, happily coexisting without pushing for play.
He hasn't had direct contact with cats in his foster home, but shows zero interest in the neighborhood cats he sees outside – making him a potentially good candidate for a cat-friendly home.
Papacito thrives on routine and finds comfort in knowing what to expect. He’s had zero indoor accidents and always does his business outside. While he prefers shorter potty walks in the heat of the day, he’s happy to go for longer strolls in the cooler mornings and evenings.
This sweet boy is crate-trained and does wonderfully with a frozen Kong or chew toy. In fact, he’s so in tune with his routine that he walks right into his crate when he sees a Kong – he knows it’s time to settle! He’s also done well being left in a dog-safe room, where he cozied up on the couch for a nap.
Papacito may need a day or two to adjust to a new environment, and did show some mild separation whining early on, but once he knows the routine, he becomes incredibly low maintenance. He’s rarely mouthy (only a couple of times, and only when meds were involved), and was easily redirected with a toy or chew.
Enrichment is key for Papa – he loves mealtime puzzles like snuffle mats, lick mats, and frozen feeders, which help him settle and feel at ease.
All in all, Papacito is a sweet, loyal companion who’s just looking for someone to love him and give him the stability he craves. If you’re patient in those first few days and ready to give him a little time to adjust, you’ll be rewarded with one of the most loving, easygoing dogs you could hope to meet.
Papacito's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to give his love to his person!

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!
