Amanda, I see you are looking to raise funds. If your interested I can work out a Pampered Chef,Read More fundraiser for you? Your friends and family shop for themselves as they would at a party, but instead of you earning FREE product, you will earn funds. As long as it can be made payable to an organization/team or school. We can set you up on Facebook and everyone orders right from their couch! Let me know :) Patricia S My business page: www.facebook.com/luvz2cook4u

Your barking dog complaint in North Patchogue is handled by Public Safety, Town of Broohaven. CallRead More them at 451-6161 and they will take action. The first time the owners will be warned, the next time they will receive a summons.

Don't know what the Town ordnance is, but if you live within the Village of Patchogue, I believeRead More there is a "15 minute rule" in the code. Basically, if the dog is barking for more than 15 continuous minutes, it's a violation subject to a fine. Call public safety at 475-1225. Keep in mind it's probably not their first priority (unless the dog has a bad attitude, and is carrying a weapon), but they will be responsive, eventually.
