# Manage your Animals
You can add animals to your website and manage all the information available about them by using the **Animals** menu in your account. The management features available for animals differ according to your level of service. Once an animal is added, you can edit the description, delete them from your website, set their status to **Available**, and when adopted, change their status to **Adopted**, using the selections in the **Animals** menu.
Animals available for adoption are exported to the adoption listing websites and shown on your RescueGroups.org website automatically after you add them (as applicable for your organization).
