Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lola. Congratulations on adopting her! It is definitely not too late to get her vaccinated. Rabies, DHPP (distemper-parvo) and Bordetella are considered core vaccines. All dogs should receive them. Other vaccines such as leptospirosis, influenza and lyme will depend on your location and her expected lifestyle. She will likely need booster vaccines in a few weeks to give her full immunity. I hope this information helps!
