Gulf Coast sanctuary
Come sit with the pack.
Bubba's Place is a nonprofit home where you book soothing time with dogs who already know how to be still with you.
You don't have to talk. They don't need you to.
Bubba opened this house so people could sit with dogs who already know how to be still. It is a working sanctuary: therapy hours with the pack, daycare with a real day of activities, and an open door if you are in a crisis and cannot keep your dog.
A visit
How the hour works
Choose a companion
Meet the pack and pick a dog — or Kitty — whose pace matches yours. Or let us choose.
Book an unhurried hour
Thirty minutes or sixty, Tuesday through Saturday. You sit. They stay. Mondays are closed. Sundays are for church — special requests only.
Come as you are
A quiet room, a couch, a patio. Donation-based. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
The pack
Dogs (and one cat) who know the job
Violet
Couch sovereignThe still center of the house. Violet shares a blanket, a couch, and long quiet hours — often with a cat tucked against her ribs.
Riddick
Patio philosopherGlossy black coat, amber eyes, a tennis ball somewhere nearby. Riddick plays hard, then settles in as if the game was only a preamble.
Moo
Therapy partnerBlack-and-white, white blaze, orange harness. Moo is the pack’s working heart — an emotional support dog who already knows how to read a room.
Sig
House puppyWhite coat, still growing into his ears. Sig brings lightness first — then, surprisingly, a deep puppy sleep against whoever sits still long enough.
If you cannot keep your dog
Emergency drop-off is part of the work. No lecture. If today is the day, tell us what is happening and we will take the next step with you.
Request drop-offDaycare
A day with the pack, not a kennel run
Drop your dog for a half day or a full day. They play in the yard, rest with the pack, and cool off by the pool when the weather allows. Pickup is calm, not fried.

The house, as it actually is
Tile floors, a gray couch, a cat who believes she is livestock. Visits happen here — not in a clinic, not under fluorescent lights. Book a time. Come sit down.
