Titers do not tell us if the dog is protected from contracting the virus, only that they have been exposed to it or have been vaccinated recently (it measures the immune system response from either a shot or actual exposure--they still don't know what level is needed for actual protection): http://www.vet.ksu.edu/DEPTS/dmp/service/rabies/pdf/Understanding_Rabies_Titers_animals.pdf A skunk was tested positive for rabies in Denver just last year.
