Broadbent Wildlife Sanctuary was founded in 1992
by former Kentucky Legislator, Mary Ann Tobin.
We are located in Central Kentucky on the outskirts of Irvington.
We are a state and federally licensed
501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.
We rely  on donations from caring individuals and businesses to operate.
At Broadbent education is very important.
All staff members attend continuing education classes
to stay abreast of new medicines, treatments and techniques.
We plan to open an educational  center in 2010.
This will provide an opportunity for people of all ages
to observe wildlife in a natural setting,
and learn to respect and cherish
Kentucky's most wonderful natural resource.
Public education is also important to us.
Our educational programs are geared toward different age groups and
include information about the different species, environmental factors
that effect them, things we can all do to make a difference and what to
do if you find an injured or orphaned wild animal.
Broadbent rescues sick, injured and orphaned wildlife
throughout the state of Kentucky.
Providing food, housing, medical & surgical treatment and
compassionate care to all our patients
through out the rehabilitation process.
Those who, for medical reasons, cannot be released
become permanent residents and assist us
with educational programs for area schools,
camps and civic organizations.
We also provide a haven for abandoned and abused exotic
birds/animals and horses.
