| 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 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that is state and federally licensed. We rely largely on donations from caring individuals and businesses to operate. |


| At Broadbent education is very important. The entire staff attends continuing education classes throughout the year. This lets us 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. The Sanctuary provides food, housing, medical & surgical treatment and compassionate care to all our patients through 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. |
