Hey Susan,
If you've got more wits about you than animal control, and you keep a copy of the Compendium I referred to, you'll see that euthanasia can be refused in an owned dog who bites a person. Read that section on biting animals, highlight it, and you'll see quarantine can be asked for and given. Lots of times, that can be observation at your home, by you.
As far as avoiding the year from now shot, you'll want to visit the comments on the posts entitled, "How Safe is Your Pet from Just a Rabies Vaccine?" You may have to get very creative or even fib. But, I think you'll agree: your Poodle is now highly likely immune for life, so you have fulfilled the intent of the law, even if you opt not to fulfill the letter of the law. I'd start figuring it out now, so you're well ahead of the game.
All the best with this. I applaud your resolve!
