Gails Mini-Donkey Ranch

Gails Mini-Donkey Ranch is a miniature donkey breeder in Los Molinos, CA, Tehama County and the Sacramento Valley near Chico. It has built a reputation over several years with registry membership and routine health screening for all breeding donkeys.

Animals are raised on pasture with daily social interactions in a family setting, and each foal enjoys careful handling from the first days of life. Owner Jack Heaney focuses on gentle socialization and proper nutrition to support calm temperaments. Health protocols include vaccination schedules and parasite control tailored to local climate conditions.

With a small herd and individualized attention, the ranch ensures each donkey develops a friendly disposition and adapts well to family life. Each season brings a handful of foals, and new owners receive guidance on diet and shelter through the first year. Visitors often comment on the ranch’s relaxed atmosphere and the donkeys’ even-keeled nature.
