Auroville Dog Shelter

News in brief


The Auroville Dog Shelter (ADS) team was replaced without explanation via an Office Order issued on 30 August 2025. The GB and AVFO plan to build a VIP road directly through the shelter and through three established Auroville farms. The now-replaced ADS team were promised a new portion of land and some financial support to relocate the shelter, which it seems they never received. The team had proposed to relocate the shelter to a neighbouring plot.
