Puppies from Atlantic City animal cruelty case available for adoption

  • Atlantic City

Four puppies surrendered as part of an Atlantic City animal cruelty case are now up for adoption.

Three girls and a boy are available at the Humane Society of Atlantic County in Atlantic City.

The 5-month-old pups are among 13 dogs Clarance Gilliard agreed to surrender under the terms of his pretrial release in a criminal investigation sparked by a Facebook Live video showing Gilliard's two grown dogs attacking a third dog.

Laquay Lewis' video, which since has been taken down, shows Gilliard take one of the dogs off of the pile and leash him into a harness.

He is seen again in the video with the empty leash in his hand, watching his other dog continued to attack. Gilliard walks away without attempting to stop the fight.

The victim dog was later connected to another animal cruelty case, in which he and another dog were left out in the freezing temperatures overnight by Aarin Burdine-Moody. The second dog was found frozen to death.

Burdine-Moody also faces animal cruelty charges for that case, and a previous one in which he allegedly left a male and female dog alone in a crate in his Liberty Apartments unit for days.

They were found starving and covered in urine and feces. The female dog also was bleeding.

The four puppies at the Humane Society are ready for adoption, according to a post on their Facebook page.

Their new names have a theme: Lucky, Charm, Clover and Shamrock.
