YES!!!
Parvo will easily travel home with you.
As long as you don't have any puppies, and all of your dogs are vaccinated, they should be OK.
BUT!!!
Strip to the skin (and shower) before allowing your dogs near you. (Pen them up when you leave for the shelter, or call ahead so someone can confine them on your way home) Drop the soiled clothes into the washer, and seal your shoes into a plastic bag. They are now your "shelter shoes" and should never enter your house again. Keep them in your car, or in the garage or a shed. (There are other things they can easily catch. Better not to invite those germs home. LOL)

Yes.
Change your clothes & wash them in bleach.
If your other dogs are adults & are current on the shots chances are that you are OK but why chance it. I used to carry a change of clothes for after working with shelter animals.

Yes if your dogs shots are not up to date you can carry parvo in your hair home and even if your dogs have had there shots you can never be 100% sure talk to your vet and see what they feel

you work at a shelter and don't know how this virus is past around from animal to another...they need some education at that shelter...if working in shelters and other places that deal with animals...learning about the different deadly diseases should be mandatory....

Yes, but your dogs are vaccinated right??????????? Take off clothes BEFORE going into the house. Shower. Leave shoes outside, dip bottoms in bleach.
Make sure your dogs are up to date on vaccines....for MANY reasons.

Dont take the chance, I believe it can spread by contact so change your clothes and take shower.
