Biloxi's Military and Tourism Character
Biloxi is shaped by two institutions: Keesler Air Force Base — home to Air Force technical training — and the Gulf Coast casino industry that has made Biloxi one of the most visited tourist destinations in Mississippi. The military community at Keesler creates the most consistent professional walking demand in the city, as military families bring their dogs and need reliable care during training and deployment periods.
Ocean Springs, across the Back Bay from Biloxi, is a small arts community with a progressive character that is unusually dog-forward for this part of Mississippi. The Ocean Springs downtown and its artist community have created a neighborhood culture where dogs are welcome in public spaces.
