    Joe with Belleville Bostons was a god-send. He made the process smooth and easy from the very first time I inquired about my puppy. He stayed connected with me about questions and concerns all the way up to the time he delivered the pup to my door. I would recommend using their service to anyone looking for Boston terriers especially. We adopted a beautiful and healthy blue-brindle boy from him in March of 2025 and I will without a doubt be going back to him in the future!

    Joe was absolutely wonderful! He was very timely in his responses and flexible with drop off. My puppy Penny is perfect and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Thank you so much!

    I recently purchased a Boston Terrier from Joe, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He was communicative, knowledgeable, and clearly cares about the health and well-being of his dogs. My pup arrived happy, healthy, and exactly as described. I couldn’t be more pleased with the addition to my family — highly recommend working with Joe if you’re looking for a quality Boston Terrier.

    Joe was great, a very caring person wanting the best homes for his pups. Freckles is the sweetest, prettiest puppy, she’s a real cuddle bug.
