6 month accommodation in KL for my dog and I

You may be able to find a room in a shared apartment that allows dogs. Check on www.ibilik.my or on www.mudah.my

You will need to get a pet import agent to obtain documents to bring your dog into Malaysia.

Thank you,

I'll check those web sites. I am communicating with Pet Air Malaysia who will handle the whole process from arrival in Kl until release from quarantine in Auckland NZ. I also have a very helpful export agent in Manila. It's a complex and expensive process. Bringing Nathan from NZ to the Philippines was simpler but still expensive.

I would suggest you look for accommodation in areas that are dog-friendly because as you are probably aware, Malaysia being an Islamic country has a lot of restrictions concerning dogs. You may find this helpful as it lists areas that have dog parks

Nathan's weight may be a deciding factor, as sometimes its easy if dogs are under around 7-9kg. Anything larger can prove to be a problem when looking for rentals and may make renting a house (i.e. landed property) the only solution.

Regarding volunteering, this website may be of interest: https://www.sols247.org/ It would be important to mention Nathan as some of the placements will be in majority Malay areas.
