I also live in Maryland and with the help of my vet, we were successful in receiving a Rabies Exemption for our rescued dog. We did a titer test (which was high) and our vet sent the results along with the Exemption Form to the state. It took a few months to hear the outcome, but it was worth it to have the peace of mind, that's he is now legal. No more vaccines for him!

Hi Esther,
What I'm suggesting on this page, is that rabies laws have no basis in immunological fact, and following them past the initial couple of rabies vaccinations can have a significant negative impact on your animals' health.
You have to weigh risks vs benefits for following laws that don't have your animals' wellbeing in mind.
