One Tail At A Time was started when Heather, the co-Founder & President visited the Chicago Animal Care & Control for the first time. At that time they were euthanizing more than 13,000 animals. She knew she had to be part of the solution and started OTAT the very next year! Experiencing consistent and steady growth from the community for the last 11 years has allowed them to build a physical location and grow a robust transport program in which dogs are continuously rescued from the southern states.
