In the exclusive lifestyle, the search for a partner is done differently than in the case of people.
You have to know yourself to be able to choose an animal for this, because only then will your life and the animal's life be happy.
You have to decide what kind of animal, what gender, what breed. In the majority of cases, we are talking about dogs. There are 300+ breeds of dogs and there are even mixes. Of course, the size of the dog is very important because of the physical relationship. If you have the dog's breed, you need to assess whether your lifestyle is suitable for keeping the dog properly. If this is also present, then the laws of the given country must also be taken into account. In most countries there is no problem, but some stupid countries impose certain expectations that make zoo life impossible (e.g. neutering), these must be somehow solved or avoided.
You can choose a breeder, a shelter, or a random puppy born to a family. You may also choose an adult dog. After that, zoo life can begin.
