Just after WWII, an American (journalist, IIRC), was bitten by a rat on Okinawa, Japan. Rabies was a possibility, BUT he knew he was allergic to the horse serum, which was how the Pasteur series of shots for Rabies treatment, was made (at that time).
He was given a choice, to take the treatment (which might kill him, since there were 12 shots in the series, which you took in the abdominal area), or not. He was also allowed to see a film of a guy dying from Rabies, because he had not received treatment in time, after being bitten by a rabid animal.
He took the treatment. It was very difficult, but he made it. After watching the dying rabies victim, he said he'd take anything before risking that.
For your Terrier, what about getting a County councilman well sold on your issue, and see about getting the regs changed. If the vets say it's OK, why would the County not approve it?
