Jack Jr., Georgetown’s rejected bulldog mascot, has been adopted.

“J.J. has found a new home,” J.J.’s former caretaker, Father Christopher Steck, said in an email to DCist. “We are keeping the details of the family home private, so as to preserve their confidentiality. The family meets all of the ideals we had looked for. In addition, they live within 3 miles from campus and have lots of experience with the bulldog breed. We did a test run with the family and J.J., and it worked wonderfully. They are in love with JJ and, I believe, vice versa.”

Steck tweeted earlier this week that around 100 applications were received the adopt J.J., who was not cut out for the mascot lifestyle. As the Hoya reported, J.J. was at the center of a settlement to two parents whose child was bitten by the dog.

Georgetown said it plans to continue the mascot legacy. Further plans have not been announced.

Good luck, J.J. We’ll always have the adorable memories.
