Puppy Love Valentine 2026                        Volunteer Sign Up & Waiver

Page 1

Thank you for volunteering for Puppy Love Valentines! Before you get started, here are a few things you need to know.

1. Every volunteer must complete this form. If you have someone you would like to volunteer with, both of you will need to complete the volunteer form.

2. You can sign up for multiple shifts on the same day. Please note that shift times overlap some to allow ample time for volunteers to arrive and get oriented before starting their shifts.

3. If you are willing to help wherever is needed during a certain shift, please select all the areas you would be willing to help in for that time slot and we will get back with you to let you know where we need help the most.

4. As a part of our Puppy Love deliveries, we will be using an app called Routific.  We ask that one person from each team download the app to help track deliveries.  More information on Routific will be sent before the event.
Pre-Assembly Volunteers
Pre-Assembly Volunteers will be needed to help set up for our Assembly Day. We will need 5 volunteers and will mark out the time when it has been filled. (ICAN office: 5100 Charles Court Suite 100, Zionsville)
Box Assembly Volunteers
Box Assembly Volunteers will help to put all of the items into the boxes and get them ready for delivery days. We do this as one giant assembly line, so we will need 20-30 volunteers this day to help us get all the boxes done as quickly as possible. We will mark out this volunteer opportunity when the slots have been filled. (ICAN Office: 5100 Charles Court Suite 100, Zionsville)
Delivery Volunteers
Delivery volunteers will deliver ICAN gift boxes directly to the recipient. Locations vary and include homes and businesses. This year we are requiring one of our furlough volunteers to be a part of every team. This is to provide consistency for our dogs when they are out in public.  Delivery volunteers should be prepared to drive multiple people, boxes and dogs in their personal vehicle if needed. (ICAN Office: 5100 Charles Court Suite 100, Zionsville)
Salesforce/Market Tower On-Location Sales
On-location volunteers will be at either Salesforce Tower or Market Tower for their shifts. They will need to stop by the ICAN office to pick up boxes and a cash bank. We need two people selling boxes and an additional 1-2 furlough volunteers to take dogs to bring the puppy love. Ambassador Dogs are welcomed at these locations! (111 Monument Cir, Indianapolis; 10 W Market St, Indianapolis)
Puppy Love Headquarters Hospitality
Hospitality volunteers help set up food and drinks for all volunteers assisting with Puppy Love Valentines. This includes making sandwiches, ensuring the food tables stay filled and clean, and assisting the ICAN staff as needed. (ICAN Office: 5100 Charles Court Suite 100, Zionsville)
Puppy Love Headquarters Check-In
Check-in volunteers will help delivery volunteers as they arrive by handing out the routes and boxes and guiding them through the process to start their deliveries. They will also aid ICAN staff as needed before the next shift of deliveries begins. (ICAN Office: 5100 Charles Court Suite 100, Zionsville)
