A Chicago shelter has run out of adoptable dogs for the first time ever amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Chicago Animal Care and Control confirmed its last two adoptable dogs - Penn and Alley - were adopted on Sunday. The shelter made the announcement on its Facebook page.
"CACC has no dogs currently available for adoption," the post read. "We've never typed those words before."

The shelter is thanking the community for stepping up to adopt or foster pets during the COVID-19 pandemic.

That sounds great, but I don't quite understand what pet adoption has to do with COVID-19. Why do more people adopt animals right now?
