About Colom

Meet Colom! Colom joined our rescue family on Election Day, and his name honors the newly elected Senator from Mississippi, Scott Colom. After spending his early years in terrible conditions, Colom is now ready to embrace a brighter future, full of love and companionship. At about 2 years old and just under 50 lbs, Colom is a standard poodle with a gentle heart. He bonds quickly and deeply with his favorite humans, wanting to stay close once you’ve won his affection. Colom thrives best in a home where someone is around most of the time; he benefits from having another dog to socialize with, as he’s never been an only pet. Loud and chaotic environments can overwhelm him, so a quieter setting without young children would suit him well. If you're interested in enriching Colom’s life with yours, email adrienne@rescuemega.org or fill out an application on our website at www.rmgdogs.org. This could be the start of a wonderful journey together!
