I have adopted a puppy about one and a half months old. He has not been vaccinated yet. He is an indie picked from a colony in gurgaon where they were sheltered. His teeth scratched my thumb and there was no bleeding but only an abrasion. Do I need to take the shots of rabies and all?

If you are very sure that the puppy is not infected or gone out to streets, you need not take. You vaccinate the puppy and need to take injection TT (tetanus)
