My story

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

Swifty is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey to learn more about her and schedule an introduction.

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

More about Swifty:
Housebroken: Yes! She has been doing well on a consistent schedule.
Crate trained: Doing well overall for up to 4 hours, after taking a short time to settle initially
Leash walking: Swifty can pull out of excitement when she sees new people and dogs she'd like to befriend, but has been making progress with the help of positive reinforcement training.
Dog social: Yes! She lives with dogs in her foster home and benefits from having a pal to play with
Cat social: She lives with a confident, dog-savvy cat in her foster home and has been doing well overall. She would do best with a confident cat as she will try to play.
Kid friendly: Swifty has done well in brief interactions with older kids. She may be a better match for bigger kids as she tends to jump when she gets excited.

Swifty likes:
- Playing with dog friends
- Exploring
- Spending time with her person

Swifty is a lovable, curious girl with limitless energy, ready to enjoy every experience the world throws at her. She LOVES water and her vast assortment of stuffies. She can self entertain but would thrive in a home with a friendly, active, dog friend to hang out and wrestle with. She’s happiest running or exploring, especially with a canine friend.

Smart and eager to learn, Swifty needs an active home that can provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Whether it’s fetch, a hike, or a puzzle toy, she’s always ready for fun. If you’ve got the time, energy, and maybe a playful pup, Swifty could be your perfect match!

Swifty's adoption fee is $300, and this fun girl is ready for her next adventure.

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!
