You may want the fact that an adoption is pending for an animal to be shown on the animal’s web page or detail page.

You can select the Adoption Pending field for the animal (in the Administrative Information section).  If you select that field , and have the Show application pending message if applicable option select in Animal Settings, a pending message will appear on the animal’s web page description informing the visitor that an application is pending.

Optionally a message can appear encouraging the visitor to apply to adopt even though an application is already pending.  Related to that, you can change the option to prevent animals with a pending application from being listed in available animals on Online Forms (like adoption applications).  Both of those options are available on the Adoptions the Adoptions Settings page.
