GROVER HECKMANN

Registered Therapy Dog

I showed up at the office one day looking for work—and it turns out, I was a natural. My first job was escorting clients to and from their cars, making sure everyone felt welcome (and maybe sneaking in a few ear scratches along the way). Somewhere between tail wags and hallway greetings, I decided Adam Heckmann needed to be rescued—and the rest is history.

Now, I’m a proud graduate of obedience training and an official member of the Grove Healing Collective team. These days, I help Adam with his notes, keep the staff smiling during meetings, and offer comfort and joy to everyone who walks through our doors. (I also make sure no treat goes uneaten—it’s an important job.)

When I’m off duty, I enjoy long naps, brisk walks, and accepting as many compliments as possible. Belly rubs still outrank gold stars in my book.
