I hate to ask, but, what happens if they can't produce the record? Does anyone know?
It would depend on the laws in their area and the probability or possibility of an actual case of rabies developing. In the majority of counties, if there is no proof of rabies shots available the dog will be impounded for a set amount of time at the owners expense, and the owner will be fined for not properly licensing the dog.
