In terms of wildlife in the US, the most common reservoirs of rabies are skunks, raccoons and bats, although any mammal can become infected with rabies. In terms of the dog population of the US, it's a bigger problem in wild or feral dogs than in pet dogs.

Do dogs have to exhibit signs of rabies before they can give rabies to someone?
No. Rabies is a tricky disease. Sometimes it can be transmitted right away, and sometimes it lays dormant. However, just like a cold, if a dog has it, the dog can transmit, sometimes sooner, and sometimes later. If your dog contracts rabies, it will most likely be able to transmit within the week. Fortunately, rabies is only transmitted if a fluid exchange takes place, such as an animal bite or the animal licking an open wound. Unfortunately, there is no cure, and the animal will most likely have to be put down for relief of suffering and the safety of all in the animal's life.
