My story

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

Flex is at our Bucktown Adoption Center (2144 N. Wood St.) You can visit our Adoption Center anytime during open hours, no appointment needed.

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

More about Flex:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Yes!
Leash walking: Can be stressed by scooters and joggers but has been making great progress with positive reinforcement training.
Dog social: Yes! Flex has done well in playgroups with other dogs, and would love a dog friend in (or near) the home as an outlet for his boundless energy.
Cat social: Not a match
Kid friendly: Not a match for young kids due to him rambunctious playstyle

Flex likes:
- Any toy, all the toys -- toys!
- Doing zoomies!
- Cuddling or just chilling near with his person
- Learning! He already knows "up", "down", "over", "around" and "touch"!

Flex is a goofy boy who will make you laugh all the time. He has an adorable muppet face and is even cute when he is sneakily stealing socks from the laundry basket. He is an energetic guy and will keep himself entertained with toys but ultimately wants to be with his person sharing the fun. You will never have to break down your cardboard again, he is a lover of all things shreddable. He has such a big personality and you can see when he is actively thinking through a problem - even if the solution is to stare at you until you pull the ball from under the couch.

Flex's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to add some excitement (and cuddles) to your life!

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!
