Matt is:
Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized
More about Matt:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: Matt finds crating stressful and would prefer to free roam
Leash walking: He can be a little fearful when seeing new people or dogs when on walks, but is becoming more confident every day
Dog social: Yes! He has been enjoying participating in doggy playgroups at our adoption center and would love a dog friend in the home to help him build his confidence
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Matt is friendly with children but can be jumpy and mouthy when overexcited so is a better match for older kids.
Matt likes:
- Cuddling with his person
- Playing with his toys
- Romping around with a dog pal
Matt was found as a stray with an HDMI cable tied tightly around his neck, and feet that are a little abnormally spread out indicating he may have been crated for long periods at some point. Whatever Matt went through prior to being rescued still has some effect on his confidence, but not on his indomitable spirit-- He can be nervous of new people and random things, but he wants so badly to love that he will willingly (yet cautiously) face his fears to do so. He's now getting to focus on all things that bring him joy, from snuggling on a person's lap and getting kisses to playing with a dog friend or quietly enjoying a plushy toy on the couch while he calmly observes those around him.
Matt'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!
