Hello Dharkwolf,
I don´t know the situation out of Germany. We have a monthly report for veterinarians about the incidence of epidemic diseases that have to be registered. Here I would just ask the local official vet what animal has been infected.
If CSW aren´t illegal in this area the problem very likely is to be a question of for what kinds of animals the vaccination company got the registration for. You normally have to ask for official permission for the vaccination for every species you want to use it for. That means that the company has to do the research that is need for registration on every species, what causes en extremly high amount of costs. That is the reason why companies normally just do it for the usual species. As long as the vaccination hasn´t got the registration it is considered to be not save. It doesn´t matter if there has been any case of rabies or not, there has to be at least some research done on this.
That means you should just try to get the officials to accept you have a normal dog. Then you can get it vaccinated like every other dog too.
The other possibility would be to find out if there exists any vaccination that has been registered for wild animals preferable wolfes. There exists a vaccination for foxes and there is as far as I know a rabies project done in Ethopia on Ethopian Wolfes (but I don´t remember if they vaccinate the wolfes too or only the shepherds´ dogs in this area).
But the fox vaccination will cause problems because it is only for wild animals and is swallowed not injected. Very likely you will have the problem that you have some kind of dog not a wolf.
