My story

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

Angelo is living at our Bucktown Adoption Center. You're welcome to stop by and meet him during open hours!

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

More about Angelo:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone
Leash walking: Doing great!
Dog social: Yes! He coexists peacefully with the resident dog in his foster home.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: He has done well in interactions with respectful kids


Angelo likes:
- Going for walkies
- Playing fetch
- Snuggling in your lap


Angelo is the definition of lap dog, and at 7lb it's impossible not to have him sitting on you and smile. He is very treat motivated and will sleep in all morning until he hears that treat bag, and then he's running like The Flash. It doesn't take long for him to get comfortable with you, and when he does you can just see the happiness in his eyes to have you around. Also after a cold walk, he hears the furnace kick on and immediately runs to the vent and plops down on it for warmth. Recently he has shown more of his playful side and loves to play fetch with a stuffy, he will bring it right back to you and tug at it with his anything-but-vicious gurgle of a tiny growl.


Angelo has a grade 2/6 heart murmur, which requires no medical management at this time. His adopter should continue follow ups with their vet and with a cardiologist.


Angelo's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to give his love to his person!

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!
