You can select Allow Sponsorship regardless of the status of the pet; although if you want the public to be able to see the pet you’ll want to select either Available for Adoption or Available for Sponsorship (only certain animal statuses are public, regardless of the Allow Sponsorship option – see Animal Statuses for more information).  Please refer to the Animal Fields article for more information about the specific Sponsorship fields.
