About this episode

Janie Van Halen shares stories about her rescue dog Pepper and her beloved Pomeranians Kody and Kano.

This week we're happy to welcome Janie Van Halen to the podcast. Janie introduces us to her current rescue Pepper , a unique looking Poodle, Chihuahua, Mexican hairless mix, she's had for just over two years. We also hear the story of her "soul dog" Kody , a Pomeranian that she shared with husband Eddie Van Halen, who went on tour, photo shoots and embodied the life of a true rocker dog. And we can't talk dogs without mentioning Kano , another Pomeranian , who gets the distinction of walking Janie down the aisle at her and Eddie's wedding. Lots of great stories surrounding these dogs that fans have been seeing in social media for years. Janie gave her shout outs to her vet, any person or rescue that puts in the hard work to provide for dogs in need and Tobie's Small Dog Rescue , a non-profit organization that provides temporary care and shelter for stray, abandoned, and relinquished dogs — placing each one into a responsible, caring forever home.
