Meet Arlo Barkley, a 1 and-1/2-year old (8/25) Boxer mix, weighing 46 pounds (as of 7/29/26). Arlo and his brother, Achilles, were pulled from a shelter in Tennessee. They can't wait to "see" what's in store for them in New England! Hopefully a home with lots of treats!

Arlo is many things: Sweet. Active. A great singer in the shower. He's a pup that loves to spend his time running and playing, so he hopes you'll join him on a hike or at karaoke! He would thrive with an active family who'll have patience with additional house-training though he's happy to share he's done well with crates and leashes! He also knows how to "sit" criss cross apple sauce! Just kidding. He can't do that.

A lover of kids, dogs and maybe cats (he's only been exposed to them on a lead), Arlo wants to make your days brighter! Adopt him today!

All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.

PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works.

Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
