Neglected Dog -- Is there anything I can do?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. If not, could someone let me know where I should post this?

My aunt has a Pomeranian Husky mix dog. The dog is basically left outside all day, 24/7 in the backyard. The dog has a built wired fence to lock her in when it is night time, as my aunt doesn't want the dog to pee and poop all over the backyard. The dog is usually locked up at night time up until anywhere from 6am-10am (depends when my aunt lets her out). Inside the fence there is a small hut, pee pad, toys, and water and food bowl. I am in California, and the dog was still outside even with the really bad fires going on and super smokey air.

The dog doesn't get fed much, usually only fruits and vegetables, rarely any meat and no kibbles. The dog is fed twice a day (no exact specific times). No one really plays with the dog, and if anyone does play with the dog, it's maybe only 30 minutes to an hour a day? The dog's water bowl rarely ever gets filled, and when it does it is very little water. Sometimes whenever I go outside, her water bowl is literally dry. So I'm always the one to give her water and fill up her water bowl. Whenever I can, I try to give the dog some snacks. Also, sometimes my aunt has forgotten to feed the dog, so I end up feeding her. Although, I don't mind filling up the water bowl and giving the dog food, I don't think it is my responsibility to do so all the time or even a majority of the time, as it is not my dog.

My aunt has given the dog a bath once, which was back in April, never again after that. The dog doesn't get brushed or groomed. One time the dog was running around the pavement and my aunt said, "Good thing she's running around. She's filing her nails down so I don't have to cut them".

Since the dog is outside, she will occasionally bark, sometimes for a long time. Once time a neighbor even complained and threatened to call animal control or something. When the dog barks, my aunt does nothing about it but just call her name to "make her stop". Doesn't always work.

My believe my grandma has spoken to my aunt about giving away the dog, yet my aunt refuses to for some reason. I honestly feel so sad when I go outside and see the dog. She has such a sad life, and I wish she would have a better home with a much more loving family who could give her the attention and care that she needs and deserves.

Is there anything I can do or call about this situation? If I were to call animal control or report this, would animal control be able to do anything? I honestly don't think my aunt will give up her dog, even though she barely takes care of the dog.
