With City of San Jose Animal Care & Services – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

03/13/2024

Today was a beautiful day. The City of San Jose presented Coffee Companions with a Commendation Award.

Upon receiving notification of this award, excitement filled me. However, I also experienced a touch of imposter syndrome. Yet, I realized that my efforts, no matter how small, have positively impacted the lives of shelter dogs.

I firmly believe that making a difference requires a collective effort; it truly takes a village. I am grateful to be a part of the San Jose community and to contribute to the well-being of our animals.

I must acknowledge the dedicated individuals and organizations, such as Silicon Valley Pet Project, for partnering with me and sharing in my vision to help shelter dogs through coffee.

The San Jose Animal Advocates, who work behind the scenes to find homes and sanctuaries for animals that may otherwise be euthanized.

And the staff of the San Jose Animal Care Center, who dedicate their hearts and time to care for our community’s highest needs animals. It’s their unwavering commitment that inspires me to make a greater impact on animal welfare.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the Coffee Companions supporters and followers who purchase our coffee and merch. And to my colleagues at Lyten, who have generously volunteered their time to support our mission at pop-up events. Together, we have served our community, all in the name of helping these incredible dogs.

Thank you, San Jose, for this award. I’m proud to be a lifelong resident of a place where you can start something making a positive impact in the community!

It was of great pleasure to finally meet Keba & Rachel Konte, the founders of Oakland’s Red Bay Coffee at the 2022 Coffee Festival.

Red Bay Coffee is at the forefront of the fourth wave of coffee—a firm commitment to ensure coffee production is not only high quality and sustainable, but a vehicle for diversity, inclusion, social and economic restoration, entrepreneurship, and environmental sustainability. They are foodies, artists, activists, community folk, and innovators who love, love, love what they do. 

Red Bay seeks to create unity by hiring and serving people of all backgrounds, striving to be diverse and inclusive of those who have traditionally been left out of the specialty coffee industry, especially people of color, the formerly incarcerated, women and people with disabilities. This is something that I definitely love about Red Bay Coffee!! Not only their delicious coffee but they are advocates of social change!

It was so exciting to see Nirvana Soul’s vendor booth at the 2022 Coffee Festival!☕💕

I meet Nirvana Soul one week after their launch in September 2020, during the beginning of the pandemic. I remember Jeronica, the co-founder, helping me at the register, and how warm and open she was when I inquired about a possible internship as a roaster. I didn’t end up roasting for them but what happened that day was absolutely beautiful-I was Inspired!

I went home and read every blog and story about their journey. It was an inspiration and pathway for me to find motivation to make my dream a reality. I pulled out my 2017 business plan for Coffee Companions Coffee Bar and Canine Adoption Center and started executing my dream to help shelter dogs receive a second chance at life.

6 months later Coffee Companions LLC was launched and now helping many shelter dogs receive the peace and joy that they deserve!

Thank you Nirvana Soul for creating something so beautiful that is helping others make difference in the world!

Tuttle was picked up as a stray and landed in the shelter in October, 2021 when he was just a year old. This sweet Staffordshire Terrier/Cattle dog mix exhibited the stress and anxiety to be expected of a puppy in a large, scary shelter. In November 2021, Tuttle became one of the first dogs to take part in our new Dog Day Out project, run by volunteers Julie and Kevin. Over the months that followed, Tuttle became a favorite of shelter and DDO volunteers alike. He travelled all over the Bay Area on his outings with Kevin and built up his social skills on leash and in public spaces. Thanks to the dedicated shelter volunteers and his DDO partner, Kevin, Tuttle's mental health remained strong even as he was continually passed over for adoptions. Finally, experienced SVPP foster Dave and his blind pitbull, Golly, were ready for a new foster pup, so at long last, Tuttle got out of the shelter! This sweet boy is learning that the world can be quiet, loving and happy as he settles in to home life. Tuttle's friend Kevin and foster dad Dave -- aka Team Tuttle -- will continue the work to get this deserving boy ready for his forever home!

Adopt Tuttle 🐾💕

Tuttle is a 1 year and 8 months old merle-red Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog.
Tuttle is incredible! He is sweet and kind to everyone he meets. No reactivity to dogs or people!
He has perfect leash behavior and loves beaches, hiking trails or just walking in the neighborhood. He’s treat motivated and eager to learn. He also does well on car rides.

In summary, Tuttle is a well mannered dog who is so deserving of a forever home. He’s affectionate and gentle and a perfect walking or hiking companion!
