Yes, it is safe to bathe a puppy who has not had its shots as long as the tub/water has not been used by another dog without their shots. To be safe, you should clean the tub thoroughly before and after her bath if you have other unvaccinated dogs.

However a major concern would be the age of the puppy: Young pups aren't able to retain body heat very well so getting them wet can put them at risk of hypothermia. Make sure the water is the correct temperature (lukewarm), the room they will be drying off in is very warm and that you dry them thoroughly. Personally, I would try my best to avoid bathing them.
