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.
