Adopter Benefits
One Tail at a Time is committed to supporting our adopted dogs throughout their entire life. Trained Adoption Counselors are available to answer any questions, both before and after adoption.
Below are benefits we have created with local businesses in an effort to keep families happy and healthy for the entire life of your adopted dog.
Adjusting & Training
Our Dog Resource Guide offers simple solutions to problems you may face such as unwanted barking, mouthiness, housebreaking and more. You will also find information about supplies and ideas on how to adjust to life with your new dog.
Collins Canine – 15% off all services to One Tail adopters. Complete 3 in-home sessions or one training class within 3 months of adoption and receive a $100 refund on your adoption fee.
Canine Sports Dog Training – 10-15% off training, depending on the service. Canine Sports offers agility and “nose work” classes for dogs that need to be put to work, burn some energy, or need a little extra mental stimulation.
Did you adopt a Safe Humane Chicago Court Case Dog? If so, your dog receives FREE training for life through Safe Humane’s Community Training Partners! Partners have worked with the Court Case Dogs in the shelter, and potentially in their foster home, and may already have established a connection with your dog. Contact your Adoption Counselor to be put in touch with your dog’s training partner.

One Tail at a Time Programs
Dutch’s Fund was created as a way for One Tail to care for dogs suffering from medical problems, or needing on-going treatment to remain healthy and happy. Fund’s from Dutch’s Fund also help dogs that have already been adopted. The Dutch’s Fund Grant allows One Tail adopters to apply for up to $500 in assistance in paying for unexpectedly large veterinary bills. Email AnnaOTAT@gmail.com for more information and to receive a grant application.
Ambassador Program - Want to show off your social dog to the public and help promote adoption? Ambassadors are invited to show the world how great adopting a homeless pet can be. You will be invited to take part in adoption events, fundraisers, and outreach events to spread the word on One Tail’s work. Ambassadors go through a short training and are emailed about events as they are scheduled and you let us know if you can attend. Contact KarenOTAT@gmail.com to sign up.
