Locke - like too many of her comrades - was found on the streets of Sri Lanka: a puppy, discarded without a chance to survive.
We nursed her up, vaccinated / neutered her, and were happy when Locke was adopted by a ReHome family.
Sadly, the harsh times on the streets of Sri Lanka had taken their toll and Locke became a frequent in-patient because of her medical condition.
Locke would have become another DCC Resident, but...
...thanks to our DCC 50+ Program we were able to find her a foster family very close to the clinic. Thus, we could supervise her health condition. She lived together with Aruba & Argentina.
At the end of October 2026, Locke sadly passed away at the age of 14 due to kidney failure.
We are heartbroken that Locke was taken from us so suddenly. Nevertheless, it is a small comfort to know that she was able to enjoy such a long, happy and contented life. Sadly, very few former street dogs in Sri Lanka are fortunate enough to reach such an advanced age. Dear Locke, it was a privilege to have known you. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Run free, and may you cross the Rainbow Bridge peacefully, dear friend.
