Humane Society of Pikes Peak Region Debuts Interpretation and Translation Services
February 28, 2023 Colorado Springs, CO – Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR) has partnered with Volatia to provide language interpreters and translators for anyone who has limited English proficiency (LEP) and video translation services for anyone who is deaf or hard of hearing.
Volatia Language Network provides interpretation, translation, and localization services in 298 languages on demand both in-person and via phone. Volatia uses a combination of the latest technology and a network of thousands of professional interpreters and translators who are fully tested and trained to ensure reliability, confidentiality, and ease of access.
“HSPPR is committed to ensuring equitable access to all services and resources available to our community. We are grateful to Volatia for helping us connect with pet owners with LEP needing our assistance so more animals get the care they need,” said HSPPR President & CEO, Duane Adams.
If an individual speaks a language other than English and needs to reach a department within HSPPR, the department guide below is available for the direct phone number. You will then be connected to an interpreter who speaks your language, and he or she will connect you to the department you’re trying to reach at HSPPR.

- Animal Law Enforcement (Colorado Springs & Pueblo): 719-247-3785
