🚨 UPDATE: Bruce Banner’s deadline has been extended — we have until SATURDAY, 8/9 to find him a . This is our last shot. 🐾

Bruce is 99% Bruce, 1% Hulk — a goofy, loving, adventure buddy who’s been stuck in the shelter too long. Outside his kennel, he’s calm, affectionate, and ready to be your hiking partner or couch hippo.

🐾 THANK YOU 🐾
To everyone who reposted, liked, shared, commented, and supported Bruce Banner — you moved mountains. Seeing our community rally to save this dog was beautiful. This is my mission: to save these animals, period. 💚

I also want to give a huge shoutout to the incredible San Jose Animal Care Center shelter staff, who work so hard every day and truly feel like family to me. Thanks to their dedication, Bruce has been given this little extra time.

🔥PLEASE EMAIL BEFORE GOING TO THE SHELTER🔥

It’s taken me some time to put this post togther but I wanted to share this with My Community!🐶☕💕

Last Tuesday, July 15—just one day after his 30th birthday—I lost my son, Kyle, also known in the drag community as Carmel.

Kyle/Carmel was more than my son. He was a vibrant, bold, and beautiful soul who lived life unapologetically. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and a talented drag performer, he lit up every room with joy, creativity, and heart.

Coffee Companions has always been about community and compassion—whether it’s advocating for shelter dogs or connecting with the community through coffee at events. Kyle lived those same values in his own way, using his art to lift others up and show people they were seen and loved.

As I grieve, I’m reminded how deeply connected the animal welfare world and the LGBTQ+ and drag communities really are—built on love, resilience, chosen family, and fighting for those too often overlooked.

I’ll keep showing up for animals and community in his memory—with more pride, more softness, and more fire🔥—just like he lived. Thank you for taking the time to read about my son, Kyle/Carmel, and to honor the art, joy, and courage he brought to the world through drag.
