Yes definitely. When my mutt, Barney, died we got Angie my RB Shih Tzu four days later. Barney was 18 years old when he died and he was a part of my family longer than I was at the time. A lot of people might think that getting another dog that fast is wrong, but we were simply lost without a dog. When Angie died last June at the age of nine we got Sylvia one week almost to the minute later. So as you can see, I know I would get another dog. I see it like this. We have a home that needs a dog and there is a dog that needs a home. I also see it as saving another life.
