Bunnychick Haven of Navarre

Bunnychick Haven of Navarre is an award-winning 501(c)(3) sanctuary, educational destination, and wellness-inspired experience nestled along Florida’s Emerald Coast in beautiful Navarre, Florida. Dedicated to rabbit rescue, rehabilitation, humane education, and meaningful animal-assisted experiences, the haven was created to inspire compassion, healing, mindfulness, and connection for visitors of all ages.

Founded by Jill Wesson—a psychology graduate, Certified WRAP Facilitator, and accomplished training and development professional with more than 30 years of experience in human growth, education, and transformational learning—Bunnychick Haven blends rescue work with therapeutic, hands-on experiences designed to nurture both people and animals alike.

More than a rescue, Bunnychick Haven has evolved into a peaceful sanctuary where guests can reconnect with joy, kindness, and nature through rescued rabbits, gentle chickens, guinea pigs, wellness experiences, educational programs, private encounters, seasonal events, and immersive overnight stays at the serene Haven’s Nest Tiny Home Retreat.

Recognized as the 2025 Best of Florida – Regional Winner in Animal Rescue & Shelters, Bunnychick Haven continues to gain statewide attention for its compassionate mission, innovative educational outreach, and positive community impact.

The sanctuary has also been featured in television and print media, including:
• WEAR-TV’s Angels in Our Midst
• Pensacola News Journal
• USA Today Network publications
• Regional community spotlights, educational partnerships, and wellness initiatives throughout Northwest Florida

Through partnerships with schools, nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations, Bunnychick Haven is helping redefine what an animal sanctuary can be—creating experiences that uplift hearts, support emotional wellness, encourage humane education, and remind people that even the smallest lives matter deeply.

At Bunnychick Haven, we believe healing often begins with compassion.

Small creatures. Big impact. Divine purpose.
