Dog eats socks

My girlfriend and her sister have a dog and my heart breaks every time I am there because they keep her outside, never ever take her for walks and only feed her once a day at night.
She isn't allowed inside because she eats socks and they had to get an expensive operation on her so that she was better again and do not want to have to pay for another one.
I take her for walks myself as much as possible but I can tell when its night time she is so cold and she whimpers and scratches on the door. I really want for her to be allowed inside again but I don't know how to go about getting her to not eat socks, it would be difficult confining her to the laundry or something because she is always so erratic and crazy when you spend time with her due to her never getting walked or any attention. (Apart from when I am around)
Please help and suggest ways I can get her to not eat socks because it really breaks my heart and she is so lonely! :(
Thank you! Any advice is appreciated.

Poor pup! You could try training "leave it", and keeping socks away from the dog. The other suggestions are great, too! It's not fair to punish the dog because they had to have en expensive surgery. I commend you for wanting to help the dog and train it to not eat socks so it can come back inside. You have a great heart!
