Parvo is a deadly and contagious disease caused by the canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) virus from an infected dog or feces. The CPV-2 virus can live in the environment ie ground or hard surface, for a really long time. We're talking weeks or even months at a time especially in areas where it's dark, damp and dirty. So, to make a long story short... 1.) The environment is considered safe once the infected dog has stopped shedding the virus. Since the infected puppy is no longer living with you, this isn't so much of a problem. But on the one hand, the CPV-2 virus could still have survived. Keep in mind, this virus is a hardy virus. So, to ensure you killed the virus it's best to disinfect the environment including feeding bowls with diluted bleach solution. Once the environment has been cleaned and disinfected, I think fostering dogs should be just fine. By the way, thanks for fostering. ~PetPhenom.com
