Our Story

Once upon a time (okay, not that long ago), there was a college student-athlete juggling it all — classes, practices, late-night study sessions, and the constant pressure to keep it all together. Between early alarms and endless deadlines, she found herself longing for a quiet moment of peace… and maybe a little comfort.

Whenever she was home, she'd spend hours outside with her dogs, her bunnies, and her favorite animals of all — the gentle, shaggy Highland cows. There was something about their calm eyes and slow, steady nature that made the world feel a little softer.

One particularly stressful semester, she realized what so many students feel but rarely say out loud — college can be overwhelming. Between academics, sports, and social life, there's hardly time to breathe, let alone unwind. And that's when the idea began to take shape:

What if there was a place where students could slow down, reconnect, and recharge — not through screens or caffeine, but through something real, warm, and alive?

That dream became The Snuggle Barn — a cozy, welcoming space built to bring comfort to busy, stressed-out students through the simple joy of animal companionship. From fluffy bunnies and friendly dogs to the beloved Highland cows that started it all, every furry friend at The Snuggle Barn is here to remind you that it's okay to pause.

Because sometimes, the best kind of therapy has four legs, a wagging tail, or a soft moo. 🐾

From study breaks to stress relief — The Snuggle Barn is here to help you find calm, comfort, and connection, one cuddle at a time.
