What can I do? My neighbor is throwing dog feces on my front porch, carport, and the front wall of my home.

Call the police. It sounds like this has already gone beyond a mere annoyance into vandalism. You would also probably have a civil claim for trespass/nuisance, but a visit from a police officer might get more attention than one from a process server.
