Yes. Any mammal can catch rabies from any other mammal. (The rabies virus has also been shown to be capable of infecting birds, though as far as I know there are no known cases of this occurring outside the laboratory.)

∙ 12y agoBaby animals can sometimes be carriers of the rabies virus. They could get the virus from their parents or from their food and environment. While they are not necessarily infected, the virus can be in their body, and if a dog is bitten, scratched, or bites the animal (which would transfer blood and saliva that could have the virus), there is a chance the dog could catch the virus. Depending on the animal as well as the area, the risk can be relatively low. It is a good idea to keep your dogs' rabies vaccines up-to-date to prevent them from getting rabies.

Because the rabies shot is a live virus, no. This could increase the rate of your dog getting sick from rabies. Get your dog tested, then if it has rabies, get it rabies injections.

Yes they can and do, get rabies.
Can a dog who has bitten a person and not transmitted rabies infect another person they bite later?
This question is rather confusing. However, if a dog is biting people this much, the dog needs attention of some kind. If a dog bites someone, there is probably a law in your area (if you are from the US) that it needs to be reported and then quarantined for ten days. That's the law in NYS where I live. This is to be certain the dog doesn't have rabies. My dog bit someone and even though we had proof that she had rabies vaccinations, we had to quarantine her for ten days. If your dog does not have rabies and is not vaccinated it will not catch rabies by biting a person unless the person the dog bit was carrying rabies, which is very, very unlikely. An animal catches rabies from other infected animals, from either getting scratched or bitten by that animal, or from eating a dead animal that had rabies. That's why it is so important to get your dog vaccinated every year.
