I'm sorry for your loss.

Please don't rush out and buy another dog right away. Dogs aren't replacable, like a pair of shoes. Take your time and do your research on what makes a breeder reputable. Are you in Lakewood, California? If so, please research the puppy lemon laws in the state.

Parvo can live on surfaces, including fabrics, rugs, the bottom of your shoes, etc. for up to 6 months. 1 bleach treatment may not be enough. I would wait for quite awhile before bringing home another dog, and then I might consider only bringing in an older one that had been fully vaccinated.
