Easy one in the ' Riley Riddle [1]' tradition:

My prefix is unused. 

My suffix is a forest removed. 

My infix is a reunited analogue. 

I am all alone but for a dog. 

(2) Just to make sure, analogue, not analog, right? - Sensoray
(1) @PaigeMeinke, right. - John
(1) @PaigeMeinke, I waffled on which form to use but went with ue because I felt analog might be misleading to technical people. I personally use them in different ways, but technically they're supposed to be interchangeable. Good question. english.stackexchange.com/a/206959/185028 - John
Cool cool, just wanted to make sure 🖒 - Sensoray

He is in

New-found-land

My prefix is unused.

Unused is new.

My suffix is a forest removed.

A forest removed is just land.

My infix is a reunited analogue.

An analogue of being reunited is found.

I am all alone but for a dog.

Newfoundland is all alone because it is an island, but does have its Labrador [1] for company!

That's weird. I don't think I'm there but I guess I must be given how well it fits with the riddle! :) - Riley
@Riley, hahaha. I hope you've been enjoying these. I enjoy this riddle type. When I'm reading now I tend to look more closely at word constructions because of them. Maybe now you'll have to visit Newfoundland and tell us how it is! - John
Good job Amit. Hope you don't mind the edits for more clarity. - John

I guess Riley has been to...

Newark, or Newark-on-Trent [1], England.

My prefix is unused.

We called an unused thing as "a new thing".

My suffix is a forest removed.

The flood is coming, cut down all the woods to make an ark!

My infix is a reunited analogue.

Unite all the manpower to engage a war.

I am all alone but for a dog.

Well, there is one new built ark, so it is alone.
However, there is a place [2] that held a dog show [3] not far from the downtown area.

I like it, but not correct. +1 - John
I can confirm I've never been there in my life :) - Riley
Omg @Riley I am only to make opening being consistent with the title, hope you don't mind that :) - Shane Hsu
I wished I could have said new was correct, but it feels like I'm giving too much of the puzzle away. Good answer. - John
