Changes to County Marijuana Program Meet PACHA, a gorgeous 4-year-old Akita who is looking for her forever home. Pacha is an intelligent and independent dog who loves going for car rides and exploring the great outdoors. If you’ve never owned an Akita we strongly recommend doing a little research on the breed before adoption. Pacha should go home with an experienced dog owner and preferably one with Akita knowledge. Pacha, like a true Akita, seems indifferent to people and other animals.
