Well this is a first-time question, Pam! **laugh**

The only thing I know to tell you to do is to put ads in the local paper or see if you can put them up in pet stores, in Vet offices, at the local shelters, etc. You will need to screen potential partners thoroughly, and make sure you draw up a good contract so you don't get screwed if your partner suddenly decides to back out on you or whatever.
