exported?

Organizations can make any animal status public.  If you make any status public, then it allows that data to be "exported" to sites that use our API.  In the case of the services that use data from our API (listed under API exports by going to Animals>Exports), it's then up to that service what animal statuses they want to bring into their system.  Only specific statuses are "exported" to Petfinder.com and Adopt-a-Pet.com, specifically  Available is exported, and Adopted can be exported if the option in Animal Settings is enabled.
