Dogs are not toys. Sounds like your girl needs to learn that the dogs are not her toys. Maybe it's not too late to teach her this. It will take time patience and dedication for you to change her behaviours towards your pets. With kids and pets the parameters have to be set from the start and adhered to with no exceptions.
Someday she may approach the wrong doggy to play with and end up seriously hurt. Let's hope you can instill a respect for animals before she gets herself hurt or hurts a dog. If they are growling at her, I would bet that their patience is getting near the end and one day they may bite her and it wouldn't be their fault at all.....
If nothing else until you can find someone to help you out maybe you could keep her away from the dogs by placing them in a separate part of the house. Let her spend time with them only when you can supervise her and take them away as a punishment to her if she doesn't follow the rules you set in place for her.
