TL;DR
Georgia itself does not require a rabies titer test to bring in a pet — you just need a vet passport with up-to-date vaccinations, a microchip, and a health certificate. A titer is only needed if you plan to take the animal onward to a country that requires one.
At the Georgian border, officers go by the country you're arriving from — if it's a country that normally requires a titer test, be ready to explain your case. If you plan to continue on with the pet, you'll need separate export paperwork.
One traveler asked whether it's fine to enter Georgia with pet documents that show just a lab code instead of a titer result — according to the chat's experience, this hasn't caused entry problems.
A rabies titer test is only required if you're taking your dog OUT of Georgia to another country — not for entering Georgia itself. One traveler got a titer test specifically for entering Georgia and wasted a fairly large sum plus about a month of waiting, even though it wasn't needed.
What's actually required for legally entering Georgia with a pet: a veterinary health certificate, a pet passport with vaccination records (timing matters — shots must be up to date), and a microchip.
