Riverbend Animal Adoptions — Pictograph

This pictograph reports a week of adoptions at Riverbend Shelter. Each circle stands for one animal adopted, letting supporters compare the categories without reading a table. Dogs have the highest count at fourteen, followed by cats at eleven. Rabbits and guinea pigs have smaller counts that remain visible because the chart preserves the one-animal unit. This visual is useful for a bulletin board, volunteer update or classroom discussion of counts. It is not intended to show longer-term trends or adoption rates. For those questions, add dates and use a line or column chart with comparable weekly totals over time for comparison.
