Adopt Mamae, the Quick Learning Lab Mix Puppy Who Loves EveryoneMamae already knows sit, wait, down, and roll over. Show him something new and he picks it up fast. He’s also a puppy who walks straight up to every new person, ready for kisses and pets, which makes him very easy to love.Quick FactsBreed: Retriever mix · Sex: Male · Born: March 10, 2026 · Weight: 9 kg (still growing) · Location: Korea · Traits: Smart, friendly, quick learner · Health: Vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and neuteredBackgroundMamae and his brothers, Simba and Luka, came into the Anseong city pound as newborns, so young their eyes were barely open. We rescued all three together in August, 2026, and since then they’ve been staying at our partner shelter in Korea.Mamae loved people from the very first day. Even as a little puppy, he was surprisingly calm and independent for his age, and he still is. The three brothers are very close and spend much of their day playing together.PersonalityMamae is a bright, happy puppy whose favourite things are people, treats, and walks. When someone comes into the kennel in the morning, he rushes over and covers them in kisses. New people, new places, new objects, he goes right up to check them out. So far, we haven’t found anything that really frightens him.His energy is about average for a puppy. He loves to play, but it doesn’t take much to make him happy, and after a little fun he usually curls up and falls asleep. When he’s on his own, he mostly naps.CompatibilityMame doesn’t have a shy bone in his body. He walks right up to people he’s never met, gives them a lick, and asks to be petted. He’s just as friendly with men as with women, and he does well with the young volunteers who visit the shelter. As with any dog, time with children should be supervised, and parents should take full responsibility for teaching both their children and their dog how to interact safely.He loves being petted and is relaxed being touched anywhere on his body. Being picked up and held is a little less comfortable for him, so he’d rather have his cuddles with all four paws on the ground.Mamae gets along with every dog he’s met. He loves running around together, and he’s just as happy flopping down for a lying down wrestling match. He doesn’t guard his food or toys.Mame hasn’t lived with cats before, so we can’t say for certain how he’d do. Knowing his easygoing nature, though, we think it’s possible with a slow, gradual introduction, plenty of patience, and enough space for each of them to have their own retreat while they get used to one another.Behaviours & TrainingMamae goes potty outdoors. He wears a harness happily and already walks well on a leash. Like many young puppies, he’s still a little unsure about cars, motorbikes, and other dogs on the street, but he doesn’t shy away from them, and his confidence will grow with time and gentle exposure. He drools a little in the car. He’s calm at the vet and easy to handle for baths and nail trims. The only thing he likes to chew is grass. He knows sit, wait, down, and roll over, and he’s eager to learn more. He rarely barks.Mamae has always had his brothers with him. When the puppies were left on their own, they simply played together. Mamae is very smart. Teach him a new trick, and he’ll learn it in no time. Show him what it feels like to have a home of his own, and he’ll learn that even faster.Health & DietMamae is neutered, dewormed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. He takes monthly parasite preventatives. He has no known allergies, no skin or digestive issues, and no scars or physical injuries. His teeth are clean and healthy. He has passed the veterinary screening and is healthy and ready for a forever home.Mamae eats kibble twice a day with a great appetite and has not shown any food allergies or sensitivities so far.Ideal HomeMamae would do best with someone who works from home or is retired, so he isn’t left alone for long stretches and has company throughout the day. As a young dog still new to the world, he’ll thrive with a patient adopter who can guide him gently through new experiences as he grows.With his friendly, easy nature, Mamae should settle into almost any loving home, and he’d be a lovely choice for a first time dog owner. Since he’s grown up playing with his brothers, a friendly dog in the home would be a nice bonus. Mamae is a very lovely, sweet, and smart boy and whoever adopts him will be very lucky.
