My dog has behavior issues. Can he just get his rabies shot?

Question

I have a chihuahua and bull terrier mix who is almost 4 years old. He hasn't received any of his shots since he has behaviour issues so we are not able to take him to the vet for fear he might bite someone. He has never had health problems but i'm concerned about taking him to get his rabies shot. Is it possible to only take him to the vet for just one shot? Or will the vet suggest that he gets all of the ones he is missing?. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Oreo really should get all of his vaccines, but given that rabies is the only one required by law, you can request only getting that one. Your vet will likely suggest giving him all of them, and I do encourage you to get them all done. Vets are used to deal with aggressive dogs, but please let them know Oreo is aggressive before bringing him in so they are prepared.
