No it hasn't happened to me before. If you're not happy with your vet, fire them and start looking for a holistic vet or a integrative, proactive wellness vet. Call around and tell them your situation about not wanting to do rabies and ask if they'll still see your dog as a patient without being "up to date", get a titer, and see if they can write a waiver for you. But I think the best thing to do is to fly under the radar, don't license, and if you're feeding raw and not using pesticides for prevention then you're doing good and probably wont need to see the vet much anyway. And hang on to your titer and waiver if you can get one, and only show it if you have to, like if your dog bit someone. But if your dog isn't "up to date" by law you should be careful not to put your dog in situations where he could make a poor choice. This is where training comes in hand. My dog is very friendly and sweet, gets a lot with most dogs but can be a bitch sometimes, and loves people, but I do not allow her to run up to strange people or dogs if we're in the woods on a hike. She has incredible recall, and ill call her back and leash her up and keep walking, or if a dog runs up to me, ill scare it off, call me mean but I gotta protect my dog. a lot of people don't understand but I work with dogs at a rehab facility and see a lot of aggressive dogs. I just don't know anything about the oncoming dog, whether its friendly or not, or how my dog will react if the other dog has bad energy or is pushy, so I gotta just play it safe
