Key Takeaways:

Schubach Aviation partnered with Shelter to Soldier, a non-profit dedicated to providing trained rescue dogs to combat veterans suffering from PTSD or TBI, after discovering the VA had cut funding for service dogs for these conditions.
Motivated by a commitment to supporting both dogs and veterans, Schubach Aviation actively contributes to Shelter to Soldier's mission.
Their support includes a "One Cent Per Mile" donation campaign, hosting major fundraising events (like one that raised over $16,000), and offering their facilities for service dog training, such as preparing dogs for air travel.

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.
