Since I live in Arizona & I have dogs so I will chime in here. First we are talking about winter so rattlesnakes will be hibernating. You are quite unlikely to see them after October and before mid-March. Second, if you're around when they are active they will try to avoid you if at all possible, if your dog isn't running loose it's pretty unlikely that it will come across one assuming you're here when the snakes are active.
As for valley fever yes it's possible, especially if the dog likes to dig. But not really very common. Over the years I've had 12 different dogs and only 1 ever got valley fever. It was easy to treat & she lived to be 14. Probably no worse a risk than lyme disease in other parts of the country.
