There is a fucking dog somewhere in my apartment building that

Talk to your landlord. If they won't listen and you care that much maybe see if you can get other tenants to complain. If that still doesn't work move because it isn't your building and you're out of options.

Call you city's animal control department, this is why you pay taxes.

It's not an animal control issue though. They don't own the property so have basically no say what happens on it, depending on state you might have some tenant's rights laws about noise that you could leverage to pressure the owner of the building but other than that they aren't entitled to much. If you can't tolerate the people around you move to a house, if you can't afford that go live under a bridge. You don't get to just bend the world to your will simply because you exist and are unhappy.
