Southern Asspitality Miniature Donkeys

Southern Asspitality Miniature Donkeys, miniature Mediterranean donkeys in Wartrace, TN, are located in middle Tennessee near Nashville. They have been caring for donkeys for more than a decade, with membership in the American Donkey and Mule Society and routine health screenings for their herd.

Their approach to husbandry emphasizes gentle handling, early socialization and turnout on pasture designed for miniature breeds. Set on rolling pastures at the edge of Wartrace, the farm offers open spaces for natural grazing. Each young donkey spends ample time with people and other equids to build confidence and friendly behavior. The farm’s barns and shelters are cleaned daily, and nutrition plans are tailored to each animal’s needs.

Debbie Ames and Savannah Ames draw on family traditions of livestock care, and their experience shows in balanced temperaments and sturdy health among their animals. Some of their donkeys have served as gentle companions in youth handling programs.
