Getting rabies from what looks like an absolutely healthy puppy is pretty much impossible, but just for general knowledge, if you wait for symptoms of Rabies then it is already too late, once the first symptom appear, Rabies is not a curable disease and you would die within 10 days. symptoms include excessive salivation and mental changes.

Rabies is transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. If an animal or human is exposed to rabies through a bite wound and contracts the disease, symptoms can be begin anywhere from a few weeks to months or even years after the incident. Once symptoms begin (usually neurologic signs like incoordination, paralysis, difficulty swallowing, or seizures), the affected animal typically gets worse and dies within 7-10 days.
