Oh man Kelley, I would absolutely not take his word for that. That
doesn't even make any sense, not that laws have to make sense. I would
find where in writing it mandates, or stipulates that an animal, even in
dire medical condition, must be subjected to rabies inoculations. You
could start by calling the office that dispenses pet licenses in your
area. If by some ridiculous chance that's true, the law should be
changed. Maybe you could pass the info on to a local animal rights
group to spearhead the effort.

Now, we don't vaccinate Missy at all...

I'm in so cal and I've also been told that a written wavier from your
vet is usually all that is required for exemption. Rabies shots are
otherwise mandatory in my county. They won't even allow you the
privilege of licensing an animal without proof of vaccination, or a
waiver. Now, getting a vet to write that waiver has been another story.
