In 2024, we realized one of our biggest goals: to create a mobile family pet center that can travel the country, offering a unique experience to children experiencing extended hospital stays. We know the impact that therapy animals can have on kids (and adults) alike, but the bond you share with your own pet is even stronger.
Our vision at Brave Like Me has always been to create a place where hospitalized children can safely reunite with their family pet. After months of research, innovation and ideation, our vision has been realized. Our one-of-a-kind mobile Family Pet Reunion Center allows hospitalized children to safely reunite with their beloved family pets. Here, they can experience the comfort and love that only their pet can provide.
Every detail of the mobile Family Pet Reunion Center has been thoughtfully designed to bring joy, comfort and wonder to every child who steps inside. From ample space to accommodate mobility needs, to a refreshment station, colorful accents, and even an extra-special touch of technological magic, our mobile Family Pet Reunion Center offers an experience—and a little escape—like no other.
Recently, Megan Mitchell of WLWT Cincinnati got a special tour of the Pet Reunion Center and sat down with the Otten family to learn more about what it means to create a space for kids and their furry family members to reunite.
