No, you're not wrong . I would imagine a dog that wouldn't go after a rabbit would be an exception to the rule, not the other way around.

If it'll make you more comfortable, perhaps you can teach your dog the "leave it" command. Not sure if it would override such a strong instinct but we've been successful with it (if I'm right there) in regards to birds, rabbits, and other small critters.

The folk at shelters understand the natural behaviors of dogs so no, it shouldn't be an issue.
