To think neighbour needs to do something about her dog??

So we have lived in this house for 17 months. Always got along fine with next door neighbour (and no problems with any of the other neighbours) a year ago she got a dog from the dogs home.
Clearly has problems as she told me the dog poos in her bedroom on a regular basis etc.
A few months after she got it she started going out in the daytime (she doesn’t work as she is a foster carer and has foster children staying at her home) and it started barking and howling. I was understanding at first and spoke to her about it - I was very nice and just said I don’t know if she knew but it barked a lot when she wasnt Home. She was very nasty about it and said it doesn’t.
After a couple more months it was barking/howling/whining non stop and she would throw it in the garden. I can hear it constantly. It was driving me mental and I was crying because it was so bad so I reported her to the council and to the RSPCA as she never walks it etc.

She started walking it as she must have got a letter and now she’s got a foster baby who’s a few weeks old and has stopped taking the dog out. As I type I’ve got the television on full blast and can still hear the dog barking and howling.

What can I do? Surely she has to do something about it! I think it would be in the dog’s best interest if she rehomed it and surely a dog that poos in the house can’t be good for a baby?

Fair enough, I misread/ misunderstood.

Thought you meant it's barking and howling all the time whether she's there or not.

@Farfel

No unfortunately not, otherwise maybe she’d do something about it then! When I approached the subject with her she said that the dog didn’t bark. Which it definitely does she’s just not the one hearing it!
