INDIANAPOLIS — That special someone in your life will be howling with delight this Valentine’s Day when a cute and cuddly Indiana Canine Assistant Network (ICAN) service dog or puppy in training delivers them a Puppy Love Valentine.
For the tenth straight year through Puppy Love Valentines, ICAN offers the opportunity for one of its dogs or puppies in training (escorted by a human volunteer) to deliver a decorated tote full of unique gifts to someone in the Indianapolis or Bloomington area. Deliveries to homes will take place on Saturday, February 12th, and businesses and homes on Monday, February 14th. Individuals also can have their Valentine gift shipped to anywhere in the U.S. For more information and to order or ship a delivery, visit www.icandog.org.
ICAN is the only accredited service dog training program based in Indiana, where state prison inmates train service dogs to meet the specific needs of their recipients. Clients with various physical or emotional disabilities – from mobility assistance to diabetic alert to mobility/PTSD assistance for Veterans to Facility Dogs — can receive an ICAN service dog to assist them and enhance their daily lives.
The gift bag and delivery are $60 and include a variety of tasty Valentine’s goodies such as chocolates, candy, gourmet popcorn, ICAN greeting cards featuring puppies in training, an 8-by-8-inch dog art canvas individually created by an artistic ICAN pup, and much more. Best of all, it includes the chance for the recipient to love and nuzzle with the dog or puppy making the delivery.
New this year is the option to purchase a Premium Valentine Gift bag. The premium gift bag and delivery are $99 and include chocolates, a special 15 oz puppy mug, homemade caramels, and more! There are a limited number of Premium Valentine Gift bags available.
Proceeds from Puppy Love Valentine’s benefit ICAN’s operational and training costs.
