Having a pet is a long-term commitment that not everyone is ready for. So, before deciding whether to get a pet or not, give fostering a go. Fostering is a good way to test the waters, says Amy Wong of My Forever Doggo, a media platform that aims to encourage kindness and acceptance of dogs in Malaysia.

Although taking care of pets benefits both the carer and the animal – “you’re (both) getting a good companion who will always be there for you” – Wong says that pet ownership comes with a fair share of responsibility.
