Auroville dog shelter update

The Auroville dog shelter has been receiving an increasing number of desperate calls to save abandoned new-born puppies. However, as the dog shelter is at maximum capacity and is regularly flooded by heavy monsoon rains, help cannot be provided. A petition has been submitted to the Auroville Foundation Office, supported by over 800 people, asking for Rs 3 lakhs in basic monthly funding to cover operational expenses. A reply is still awaited.
