Is there any activity more closely associated with dog ownership, especially urban dog ownership, than walkies? If new dog owners go in knowing nothing else, they have already had it hammered into them that they must walk their dog religiously.

This might seem like a funny thing to question in a blog for a dog-walking company, but: why?

Anna Friedman, Shelter Director for One Tail at a Time, enlightens Rover-Time readers with more on their fantastic Foster Program. Do you have what it takes? Probably.

With Thanksgiving behind us, we're still feeling particularly grateful for those special family members who have walked into our lives by chance or well, sometimes with just a gentle paw on the arm, a tilted head, and heart-melting stare.

Adopting a rescue animal takes a great deal of heart and at times, a great deal of patience, but the ultimate reward of giving a special dog a second chance at life is priceless. Join us as we close our celebration of our rescue rock stars and the families who love them.

This article was written specifically for the Rover-Timers that became expectant parents this year. Here's my best advice on how to get ready and what we prioritized getting done to ensure our dog's emotional and physical well-being over the long-haul.

Anna Friedman, Shelter Director of One Tail At A Time, talks to Rover-Time about the huge impact the new adoption center will have on rescue efforts.

One Tail at a Time is a foster-based rescue group that has been saving dogs since 2008. This year, the Chicago-based group is taking dog rescue to the next level by opening an adoption center. The brick-and-mortar location will allow for more animals to be rescued from Chicago Animal Care and Control, reducing the number of dogs euthanized. Heather Owen, Executive Director of OTAT, talks to Rover-Time about the fundraising process and her gratitude for the generous contributions made so far. And there is still time for you to help out!
