Frida
Frida is a 3 year old Miniature Schnauzer who is a certified therapy dog (foundation level) with Lead the Way Institute. Frida has been working as a therapy dog her whole life and loves her job. Her favourite things to do are to cuddle on the couch, learn new trick and play ball with clients. Frida is a hypoallergenic dog so is suitable to work with clients who have dog fur allergies.

Spiny Leaf Insects
Hepburn and Hart are our two spiny leaf insects at Habitat. They spend most of their day munching on eucalyptus leaves but also love to be held throughout the session as well. To hold Hepburn and Hart you have to be relaxed and regulated so this is a great way to practice these skills in sessions.

Spotted Marsh Frogs
Our spotted marsh frogs are the newest addition to the Habitat family. We have an army of 5 frogs who we have been lucky enough to watch grow from when they were tadpoles. Frogs can absorb toxins through their skin, so we don’t hold these animals, but we love getting clients to help feed and clean them and engage with them in many other ways.
