As a person from the veterinary field, no matter if a dog is current on their vaccine or not, if a dog bites a person and it is reported, the dog is quarantined for 10 days. This means that it cannot be outside of the owners house for that time and it must have 3 visits to the veterinarian for an exam. This is just to ensure that the dog is exhibiting no signs of rabies and by 10 days if the dog did have rabies, it would begin to show those signs.
And just because the dog wasn't licensed by the city doesn' t automatically mean it isn't up to date on rabies. However, if the dog isn't up to date on the rabies vaccine then the quarantine is more extreme (i'm not sure the details on that one)Plus, not all clinics hand out rabies certificates to owners, but they should be on file!
By the way, most rabies vaccines are good for 3 years now including cats.
