Always an animal lover, she has focused her volunteer efforts on animal-assisted therapy, visiting area nursing homes with her German shepherd. She has been involved with animal-assisted therapy for more than 20 years.

"I'm honored to help lead the Bucks County SPCA," said Cooper. "I've seen firsthand the joy that animals can bring to people, and I'm thrilled to support this wonderful organization that does so much good for both the people and the animals of Bucks County."

As an organization, Penn Community Bank supports many local nonprofits, including United Way of Bucks County, Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County, Vita Education Services, Bucks County Opportunity Council and Bucks County Housing Group.

Linda's appointment to the board of directors of the Bucks County SPCA continues our work to build beneficial relationships with the groups that help make this a great place to live, work and play."

The Bucks County SPCA assists animals in need and prevents animal suffering through rescue, rehoming, cruelty investigation and prosecution, and community outreach. The independent nonprofit operates shelters in Lahaska and Quakertown and offers public training classes and temporary boarding for pets referred by a social service agency during emergencies and donates pet supplies to food pantries.
