Don't try to change her. It won't work, and will leave both of you pissed off. She *could* change, if she really wanted to. Personally, when you settle down, I'd suggest you move far enough away so she wouldn't be a daily caretaker for your kids. Some people are just poisonous, and unfortunately my mom is one also (though in a different way). That doesn't mean you should hate her, or judge her at all, or try to fix her, or even pity her. But learn to keep your distance for your own sake, and your (eventual) family's.
Also, if you wanted to, and could afford to take care of them, you could ask for one or both of the dogs. But they aren't your responsibility, and unless they're actually being mistreated (well, keeping 2 active dogs in a small room is mistreating them, but you know what I mean), there's not much you could do otherwise.
