English Setter · Male · Adult · 4 years

4 years oldhe is neutered and free from Mediterranean diseases. Cannot be reliably cat tested.Would do well with another calmArlo is a stunning Orange Belton Setter who was recently abandoned at a shelter in Turkey. He arrived in a state of shock after what had already been a difficult and unsettled start to life. Even his first days in rescue were understandably overwhelming, and he was extremely frightened at the vets.Thankfully, Arlo is now in safe hands and is beginning to settle. He is still our most nervous boy and remains extremely cautious around people, but he is already showing some of his personality and his sweet, calm nature. He is slowly adapting and is doing much better than when he was first rescued.Arlo is neutered and has tested negative for all diseases.Arlo will need a calm, comfortable and easy-going home where he can feel safe and gradually build his confidence. He will need plenty of time, companionship, affection and understanding as he learns to trust and become more comfortable in his surroundings.His journey to becoming a confident dog may take some time, but with patience and a loving environment, we hope to see Arlo continue to blossom and show the wonderful personality we know is there.

About Arlo

What life with Arlo looks like

Arlo is an adult english setter dog waiting at Settusfree in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Arlo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Arlo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Settusfree handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Arlo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Arlo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Settusfree will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Arlo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Arlo isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Settusfree early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arlo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
