But anyway, it would need a really long marinade, I can see that.

What are the signs of mistreatment, beyond the fact you appear to think its old and knackered anyway?
Maybe the owner is too sentimental to have it put down or too skint too afford a vet?

Depends on what you mean by take it on.
If you mean take over the food and watering, I can't see the owner objecting, though they don't like people sticking their nose in sometimes.
If you mean take over ownership, that is a whole new thing and I would urge you to not do so as it involves a lot of paperwork and money.
It would be a full time commitment, not to be entered into lightly.
