Generally, shelters do not take care of that - it is usually the responsibility of the foster / adopter to purchase proper registration. But ask if the shelter makes any provision for fosters - IMO, the collar tag and rabies proof are still useful in case the dog wanders off. (Some dogs are certifiable escape artists - an architect friend had a boxer that climbed trees - Bob would come home and have to get his boxer off the roof! Just glad he never hit the wall or fence - he'd have been long gone.)
