Floppy Ears, Furry Friends, and the Art of Kindness
Most people think stress relief comes from yoga or a weekend getaway. Bunnychick Haven of Navarre begs to differ. Here, peace comes with floppy ears, soft noses, and a chicken that might photobomb your selfie. Inside a fully air-conditioned “Haven Shed,” visitors cuddle rescue rabbits, meet curious chicks, and leave calmer than when they arrived—lounger beds optional, smiles guaranteed. It’s a tiny-animal sanctuary designed for joy, comfort, and a little furry therapy, all in one cozy space.
What makes the Haven special is more than creature comforts. Bunnychick Haven of Navarre is where rescue meets adoption, education, and wellness. Since January 2025, the team has welcomed over 30+ surrendered or abandoned rabbits and chickens, pairing each with loving homes through carefully managed adoption programs. Visitors don’t just get snuggle time—they can participate in themed events like “Rock Painting,” join school and sensory-friendly tours, or attend educational workshops covering humane animal care, rabbit biology, and poultry principles. Every interaction is crafted to nurture compassion, curiosity, and connection for both humans and animals alike, making it a place where learning feels as natural as a gentle cuddle.
Some new options and events coming in September 2025 include: Bunny and Chicken Yoga; Haven Retreat packages with the choice of renting a brand-new Tiny Home or parking your own RV onsite; and the tranquil therapy of free-range rabbits, chickens, and Curly the goat—plus farm-fresh eggs for breakfast. No matter what gets your goat (or doesn’t), there’s always something on the calendar at Bunnychick Haven!
And it works. People leave lighter, calmer, and often a little furrier than when they arrived. Bunnychick Haven of Navarre earned its 2025 Best of Florida Regional Award by delivering that rare kind of everyday magic—soft noses, gentle paws, and the chance to take a rescued friend home. As founder Jill Kendrick Wesson says, it’s truly, “The ultimate serenity zone. Wellness your way, adoptions, family books, snuggle time & more...” Here, the joy isn’t just in the visit—it’s in giving second chances, sparking curiosity, and sharing knowledge, one bunny or chicken at a time.
