Hello Community Members,

 

A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here

 

The third challenge of our Weekly Challenge User Group October Takeover was submitted by Talia Sanders (@tsand22)  from the Indianapolis User Group. Thank you, Talia, for contributing this fantastic challenge!

 

Did you know that every October the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) sponsors and promotes Adopt a Shelter Dog Month? This challenge helps raise awareness for the countless dogs in overcrowded shelters waiting for a loving home. Let’s highlight these wonderful pets and promote adoption!

 

Your task this week is to use the provided dataset with information on animals brought into the Dallas, Texas Animal Shelter for fiscal year 2022–2023 to:

 

1. Determine the number of dogs surrendered by their owners each month for the first nine months of 2023.

Hint: Consider the Intake Date column.

 

2. Identify the top three dog breeds surrendered to the shelter.

 

3. Calculate how many dogs have been adopted from the shelter.

Hint: Consider the Outcome Type column.

 

Happy solving!
