    There are 36 dogs in the shelter.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (Draw a model)

    (3 boxes for dogs and 7 boxes for cats)

    10 units = 120

    1 unit = 120:10

    = 12

    3 units = 12*3

    = 36

    (I hope you understand the question. A gentle reminder, always draw the model according to the ratio. From there you will understand.)
