Yes it's better u get post bite rabies vaccination since it's a adopted pup and we don't know the history of vaccination and other details..
Other thing is, usually around 4 to 6 months of age milk teeth falls down and permanent teeth grows, so until around 6 months most of the puppies having feeling of biting something or other, either it's an objects or humans or other pets...
Thank you

Usually, less than 2 months old puppies will have material immunity against rabies if their mother has been vaccinated. In that case, vaccination is not mandatory, but in your case, it is an adopted puppy. Hence, it is better to get vaccinated.

Yes, please get vaccinated against Rabies as well. Teething stage is round the corner and more such playful bites may come your way. Please visit a facility for vaccination and follow the protocol suggested.
