It’s often said that man knows no greater depth of friendship and loyalty than that of a dog. It was an affinity for dogs that brought together Schubach Aviation and Shelter to Soldier.

Henry Schubach, president of Schubach Aviation, was getting ready to go to work one morning when he heard a news teaser about Shelter to Soldier, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping combat veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) find true independence through the love of a trained rescue dog.
