There really isn't anything Animal Control can do, other than check that the dogs are up to date on shots and properly licensed. Unfortunately beyond that they are more of a reactionary organization, ie they react to things after they have happened, they can't really do anything before there is an incident.
Kadi is correct, telling animal control that someone has an aggressive dog is not going to do anything without proof. In our neighborhood there is a family that bought their 17 year old daughter 2 pitbull puppies, she gets dragged all over the road by these things, and they escape constantly.
Everytime I encounter them, luckily I am close to my house and my dog has gotten very good at ignoring everything in the world but me, unfortunately I have a roommate who skateboards and has been bitten twice by these dogs. Last time they got out and made it into the yard they came for me, and I was able to subdue both of these things with some help, and animal control, ONLY after seeing the multiple bite marks on my roommates leg, and a concurring testimony about an attack from our neighbors took the dogs for evaluation, and eventually gave one of them back, which in all honestly is probably fine, they worked as a pack, probably wont have the issues they did when they ran around together. That family has given me a lot of grief since then, my only response was that they are very lucky I didn't shoot them, I am a CHL carrier, and would have been completely in the right especially since I have known them to be dangerous animals in the first place.
In summation, without evidence, there is nothing animal control can do.
Should I report the dogs as a preventative measure?
From a phone call?....some people are nuts who knows if the dogs exist or this woman is who she said she is. Plus she has enough sense to keep them contained if in fact they are as bad as she says. Maybe she is an alarmist; I had a woman quit an agility class I was in because of Thor's aggression....he barked excitedly while waiting his turn and made a ton of noise when he ran the course. I would imagine if two large dogs are showing overt aggression....animal control probably already knows but like was previously posted can't act unless something happens....so after all that.... I guess I would not call animal control.
