My story

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

Bassoon & Cymbal came to OTAT after being rescued from Chicago Animal Care and Control. They were among 16 rabbits who had been set loose in a park, and they’ve come a long way from their uncertain beginnings.

Bassoon is the bold explorer of the pair. She’s energetic, sweet, and craves your attention—especially if food is involved. Her love language is snack time, and she’ll come hopping over the moment she hears the rustle of a treat bag. She’s a big fan of pushing around her kibble ball and will keep you on your toes with her impressive hops, so a tall X-pen is a must for this little athlete.

Cymbal is her perfect complement: a mellow, shy guy who takes a little time to warm up—but once he does, he’ll follow you around like a quiet shadow (especially if there’s apple involved). He’s a gentle giant who enjoys lounging and sharing snacks with Bassoon, letting her take the spotlight while he enjoys the calm of the background.

Dog sociability: Hasn't met any!
Cat sociability: Hasn't met any!
Kid sociability: Hasn't met any!

Likes: Love greens, apples, hay, basically any snacks!

Dislikes: Loud noises - the vacuum is their arch nemesis

The adoption fee is $100. All rabbits are spayed/neutered and microchipped.

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!
