one year old dog get parvo?

I got a 14 week old puppy last week that had parvo. Unfortunately it died the next day. I didn't know it had parvo and the shelter said she had been vaccinated. I have bleached and i only had her for 24 hours, she was only in 2 rooms and one corner of the yard. I have cleaned a lot. I still want a dog but dont want to risk a puppy. So i found this dog online who looks really sweet. So my question is would a 1 and 2 month year old collie mix be all right if I make sure he has been vaccinated? I really want to be sure he wont get sick, I can't go through losing a new pup again.

A 1 year old unvacinated dog can technically get parvo but dogs never die of it at that age. At worst he would get a little fluish for a couple days. The best thing to do is get a dog that is vaccinated already, but any dog at 1 year or over has enough reserves to fight the virus. It is young puppies that don't have any immune system and electrolyte reserves to fight parvo.
