“Short Stack Ranch: Where Love Runs on Hooves (and Sometimes Belly Flops)”
If heaven had a petting zoo, it would look a lot like Short Stack Ranch. This place is pure magic—a sanctuary where mini horses strut with attitude, donkeys demand scratches like royalty, and goats plot their next great escape (with absolutely no remorse). Every rescued animal here gets a second chance at love, safety, and unlimited snacks, thanks to the incredible humans who dedicate their lives to their care.
Supporting this ranch isn’t just about helping animals—it’s about believing in kindness, second chances, and the healing power of a well-timed donkey bray. Donate, visit, or just follow their journey—you won’t regret it (but your heart might grow three sizes).

What an incredible and inspiring place. I highly recommend taking the time to treat yourself to the experience.
You can't help but feel joy in your heart when interacting with this unique group of animals, who are well taken care of and obviously loved.

Love visiting this ranch!! I can't express enough how wonderful this sanctuary is. While visiting these adorable mini horses, donkeys, goats, kittens, and dogs are what initially melted my heart, I've come to realize that the real magic happens behind the scenes. Watching Therese and Gino’s dedication and care provided to these rescued animals, day after day, month after month, is nothing short of inspiring. Schedule a visit to see for yourself. It’s so much fun.

Such an amazing organization. Animals are calming and provide joy to people. The owner does amazing work with multiple organizations and even travels with the animals for visits.
