Unsure about my adopted dog's past vaccines. Can I get them redone?

Question

I adopted a dog ladt month, I had the rabies done but I don't know if she received her regular shots. The person I got her from never got back with me. His sister said he gave her the 5 in 1 from a feed store, but not when. I want records so that if she would get loose I have all the proof of shots. Can I get the vaccine and redo it or should I contact the guy again? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 8 months and 8 days old | 50 lbs

I would not rely upon this person having given the vaccines properly nor that the feed store kept the so-called cooling chain, ie that the vaccine did not get warm somewhere along the way and became useless. I suggest you start from the beginning. Take your dog to your vet for a basic exam to make sure she is healthy, and have her vaccinated as per recommendation of your vet. Also discuss having her spayed if you do not want to breed her.
