There are a multitude of option here. First, as Kerribeth said many many areas have a limit on how many dogs/animals you can have in one home w/o paying extra for a breeders or hobbyists permit.
Are all her animls even registered? What do you know about vet care, supervision? Are they aggressive in any way? being chained or inhumanely treated in any way?
And then, there is the issue of noise. Although i'm against noise pollution ordinances, they are there for a reason, so use them.
If any of you or the other neighbors know her, try talking to her, honestly tell you its a concern that she has so many animals, maybe she needs some help, and talk about the noise, maybe a compromise can be reached.
If you suspect ANY animal neglect or abuse call your locale humane society or animla control NOW. dont wait. There is nothing wrong with being overly cautious.
As a parent, i would be concerned about the number of dogs and her children if i wasnt sure that the dogs were getting proper food, exercise, and supervision and training.
