My story

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

Jem is currently in a foster home. Submit an application and we can connect you with her foster family to set up a meet and greet.

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

More about Jem:
Housebroken: Yes!
Crate trained: So far so good!
Leash walking: Jem is still getting used to being walked on a leash but is unbothered by the sights and sounds of the city and does not bark at people or other dogs.
Dog social: Yes!
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Unknown, but likely a match for older kids as she can be jumpy when excited

Jem likes:
- Belly rubs!
- Making new friends
- Playtime

Jem is equal parts dog and comedian — she’ll keep you laughing with her constant snorts (especially when she’s sniffing out treats) and her ridiculous zoomies. She’s a total social butterfly who loves meeting new people and soaking up attention. If you’re looking for a funny, friendly dog with loads of personality, Jem’s your girl.

Jem's adoption fee is $300 and this gorgeous girl is so excited to join a family!

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!
