@devandt Many places have noise bylaws that don't allow excessive barking (although the definition of excessive varies). If you want to go down that route, start recording the barking and reporting. If you can get other people to report too, that will make it more likely that they actually start getting tickets.
In the summer or winter a metal shed would not be adequate shelter, but you'd have to wait until it's hot/freezing to make that report. Provided it's spring/fall right now the dog should not freeze to death or get heatstroke yet (unless you're somewhere very hot or cold).
If you talk to them again, be extremely polite and tell them about your love of Rotties and how you'd like to spend time with him because you love the breed (and definitely not because they're terrible owners).
If there is a rottie rescue in your state/country, you can also ask them for advice.
You could also offer to buy the dog, but they may not be very receptive to that.
