We had our previous dog for 15 years, so we were very sad when he passed on. But we did miss having a dog, so we started looking at various adoption sites. We knew what we were looking for – an older dog, good with children, who really needed a home.
We saw Kopi on the Hope Dog Rescue site, he’d been rescued from a factory, and thought he was a very handsome dog and his profile fitted what we needed, so we arranged to meet up.

| An extremely handsome Kopi |
He was a charmer from the off, easy going and relaxed when our children made a fuss of him and we knew we would want to adopt him so we arranged a proper home visit.

| Don't I look good in black? |
 |
| We're sure Kopi could learn to live with such comfort |
When he came to our house he was immediately at home, visiting all the rooms and enjoying a sniff round the garden, so we went ahead and signed the papers and notified AVA that Kopi was our dog.

Now, some months later, Kopi has really settled down with us. His easy going personality and intelligence shine through. He absolutely loves his soft bed and being wrapped in a blanket, but also baking himself in the sun on our drive and going for walks, but mostly coming back to our house.

| Playing hide and seek! |

| Snuggling during a thunderstorm - he loves anything soft! |
We look forward to many happy years with our handsome Singapore Special.

| Finally, a family of my own |
