Language barriers can present challenges for your community outreach programs. The Humane Society of the United States has compiled the resources and materials below to help you break down these barriers and extend your outreach programs to the Spanish-speaking members of your community.
The following materials are in Spanish, unless otherwise specified. Translating other web pages and files into Spanish is easy using Google's free online translation service.
