Are you looking for both a snuggler and a player? Then check out Thing 1 and Thing 2!
Thing 1 and Thing 2 are inseparable brothers who are looking for a forever home! Thing 1 loves being the center of attention. He is the most vocal of his siblings and meows to express how happy he is, and he is always very happy. He’s noisy in the best possible way. He is a huge snuggler and always wants to be close to his person. One of life’s greatest joys is listening to Thing 1 happily purr and chirp while making biscuits in your hair, and you’ll come out of it with a lovely kitten hairdo. Even though he’s small, Thing 1 is very brave around new people and unfamiliar animals, but will always look to you for support. He will also sit on your head if you let him.
Thing 2 is a big, bouncy, playful boy who always wants to have fun. He’ll play with anything: string, toilet paper tubes, a chip bag.., anything he can turn into a game or makes a funny sound. Thing 2 is the epitome of “no brain cells, only love” he’s not a genius, but he will love you more than anyone else. He has endless energy and needs a lot of playtime, which is exactly why he and Thing 1 need to stay together! No human with a job could keep up with Thing 2 on their own.
After a full day of playing, Thing 1 will be happily purring in the crook of your neck while Thing 2 stretches out asleep on your chest (please rub his tummy). Fair warning, at mealtime: Thing 2 sneaks his brother’s food, which is probably why he’s almost twice his weight. Thing 2 will also jump on your head if given the opportunity, but don’t let him, he’s gonna grow into a very big boy. These boys have been inseparable their entire time in foster care. Thing 1 needs his brother, and Thing 2 needs his best friend.
Dog sociability: Likely with proper slow introduction!
Cat sociability: Yes with proper slow introduction!
Kid sociability: Likely with proper slow introduction!
Likes: Thing 1 LOVES being cuddled and pet, Thing 2 loves to play first and then be cuddled and pet, they love playing with each other
Dislikes: Not being played with, not being snuggled with, not being pet, being apart, car rides, being told "no, you can't jump on my head", dogs barking (but they're getting used to it)
The adoption fee is $250. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

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!
