I honestly wouldn't take your dog over there until he/she is at least 7-8 months. Parvo can definitely live as long as a year inside a home.

A friend's dogs who were both vaccinated caught parvo from the yard of a house he purchased. They were both adults....no way would I take a puppy. I don't know if I would even visit and possibly bring it home....
