only if the priest doesn't mind breaking the rules.
According to almost all christian religions, animals have no soul.
Why would you think your dog needs the protection of a priest? Is it a sinner? Do you think it's going to heaven? Think about what you are asking

On St Francis day Catholics can bring there pets in to be blessed so maybe you can get her some last rites. Unfortunately St Francis Day is past, ( I think it's in May) call a church I am sure you will find a sympathetic ear. Especially if she is a vicous attack dog, maybe a sympathetic ear, nose and throat.
If the mask fits...
I think you can have burials fro pets, not sure about the priest though...

Yes, you can ... if you go to a Franciscan church or monastery and ask a priest to do it, he will. ONLY the Franciscan's will do this though ... they are of the Order Of St. Francis, and he was a saint who always 'loved' the animals and blessed them and 'helped them' ...

There are people who will do that for animals more then what most people think. Talk to one of the animal grave sites near you and see who they think is best.
