And above the center is an apartment that will act as transitional housing for pups in need of extra care. How cute is she?īeyond the lobby, dogs will receive training through positive reinforcement in a controlled environment from licensed trainers. But on a positive note, that sweet chandelier was already there, and we loved it too much to take it down. Instead, we worked around those awkward angles and painted them to match the walls. Although every inch of our beings wanted to tear them down, the risk of escalating costs (especially for a nonprofit) were too great. How much do you love the look of old plaster walls? (The imperfections are pretty perfect to me.) Although… you’ve probably noticed a handful of strange soffits and drywall bump-outs.

(How cute are our models? That’s Trout, Heather’s dog and Jack and CC’s new lover.) I shared Ashley’s tutorial with Heather, and the One Tail volunteers knocked it out of the park! Those floors are vinyl. That floor(!) was 100% inspired by my girl Ashley at The Gold Hive.

The combination of the above will increase rescues, adoptions and care while also promoting education and empowering the community. To make all of this possible, they’ve launched a campaign to bring in these four additional resources to their successful adoption center: 1) Behavior Center, 2) Adoption Truck, 3) Isolation Center and 4) Vet Clinic. One Tail at a Time sees a Chicago where adoptable dogs are not killed in shelters, where low-income pet lovers get the veterinary care they need to keep their pets out of the shelter, and one that empowers the community to care for and find homes for pets in shelters. Long time readers may be familiar with One Tail, but if not, they’re a Chicago based pet rescue doing incredible things for this community and way, way beyond. It’s why we, without a second thought, jumped in to collaborate with them on their newest resource, The Behavior Center. It’s why we choose them as our non-profit of choice when we make donations. It’s the reason why we devoted much of our time and energy into their first brick and mortar, The Adoption Center, in 2015. One Tail at a Time people are good people.
