It's not illegal to not vaccinate your dog.

However some towns and cities may have ordinances and legal requirements for you to legally have to vaccinate your dog and have a dog tag on them stating they are vaccinated.

Not vaccinating your dog when you live in a town with those ordinances could get you a fine.

However the vaccinations that are usually legally required for dogs in towns and cities is rabies vaccinations.

This is to prevent the dog from becoming infected with rabies which they could pass on to someone if they bite them.

However other vaccinations just for the dogs health are not legally required.

Still it's a good idea to get your dog vaccinated for their health and safety.

But if you can't afford to vaccinate your dog then that is okay as many people cannot afford to vaccinate there dogs or choose not too.
