Hi, My wife and i called SPCA and was told that the dog is 10 years old and is suffering from cancer.
Update from finder, Wed 24 Feb
Hi I just took a trip down to SPCA and they told me that the collie has a small lump at the side of the mouth and is probably cancerous. She also has some hip problems. So far there's no one claiming the dog and they believe she's abandoned. They are giving her till Friday. If no one claims it, she'll probably be put down over the weekend.
Any kind soul willing to accept her despite her condition?
There was - and more than one. Sg Dogslover launched an ad hoc Facebook campaign, appealing to those who could chip in for the collie's long-term boarding and medical fees. Within minutes, two people had responded, with more voicing their support soon after. Someone even offered to foster or adopt the collie. A decision was made to to go down to the SPCA the next day to assess the situation and possibly bail her out.

Update from the rescue team, Thu 25 Feb 2100hAccording to the vet, she's 15-17 yrs old. Due to her old age, her health is in very bad condition. She has cancer and a hip problem, and she's not walking.
When we were about to leave the clinic after CoCo's checkup, the unbelievable happened: we received a call from the finder saying that someone had called, claiming to be CoCo's owner.
We then rushed down to the family's residence. Turns out that CoCo had been lost since 22 Feb. She was still clean and walking then. Unfortunately, CoCo's owner, an old lady, was not in the pink of health and could not walk. It was only today when her son came back from overseas that he checked with the SPCA and was told of the situation. The son and elderly mother couldn't believe CoCo's current condition. After verification and talks with the owner, we brought the elderly mom back to the vet to see CoCo.
It must have been heartbreaking for her to see her beloved dog's health deteriorating so badly within days. The old mom looked very helpless knowing full well that although she loves her, she can't afford to take good care of her anymore, as she herself is not in good health. Because of these circumstances, we all decided to put CoCo under special foster care of a kind lady.
We wish Coco and her owner the best of health. Thank you to everyone for the care, concern and help. There is no need for any donation at this point. Most important of all, thanks to the kind lady who's giving special care to Coco in her golden years.

Update from Alycia, 26 Feb
Good news! Coco can stand up this morning and walked out to pee. Her owners will be visiting her at the vet in the afternoon, after which she will go to her new home. The very kind lady will be taking over Coco from her owners and provide her with all the necessary care and treatment needed :) On behalf of Coco and her family, our heartfelt thanks! She's really a saviour to all these needy animals!
