The belief in gods is a personal choice, so it's up to you to decide if you want to believe if there is a god for animals or not. Personally, I find no need to believe in gods for anything, but that is my own belief.

It is an interesting question to think about. God as portrayed in the Scriptures claims to be mindful of every sparrow.
Yet animals are offered in the Old Testament as sacrifices to bear the sin of humanity.
I don't know that animals undergo a process of inner reflection and turning towards the divine realm in hopes of help and salvation.
Perhaps as they are, they are sufficient and perfect in how their lives are lived. On the other hand, who is to say what happens in the world of the creatures, beyond our abilities to know?
Animals as pets and in the wild often model for us as humans values that we ourselves have difficulty with, such as open-hearted forgiveness, unconditional love, faithfulness, etc. We can also look to the animal world for examples of way of living that are hurtful and predatory. The book of Isaiah describes the kingdom of God as a time and place where predators dwell in peace with those they formerly preyed upon, forcing us to look at ourselves perhaps and how our actions are hurtful to others.

The animals' god is Man.
Man was given complete dominion over every thing upon the face of the earth, including the earth itself!
He was made Ruler over all.
Compared with animals, he is a god!
They are subject to him.

The same God we worship and pray to made the animals, too. They are His creatures as well as we are. He put them here for our needs....food, clothing, as well as enjoyment. It's our job to take care of them. It's perfectly ok to pray to God to help an animal in distress. He doesn't want them abused or neglected.
Every creature on the face of the earth has the same God, whether they know it or not.

The only things that are on earth that arent seen in heaven are insects. God created animals just as he created humans. The reason that the bible talks more about humans is that animals cant read.

No, God made the animals to help fill the earth.

WELL SURE THERE IS !! WHO DO YOU THINK CREATED ANIMALS? THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, for everything and or everybody . The bible says God created the heavens and the earth. That means he created you and me the stars, the moon, the animals and then Adam named all . Read your BIBLE starting with the book of genesis and a King James bible. IT'S GOOD READING AND YOU WILL LEARN SO MUCH MORE THAT WAY.

YES, the CREATOR!!! Not a single Sparrow fall's to the ground with-out HIM knowing it. GOD love's ANIMAL's, and HE eat's them too!!!! Just don't cause no pain when you process them.!!!
And don't mess with the BIRD's NEST either!!!!! (It's in the BIBLE).!!!!! Haven't you ever looked out in the winter, felt sad for the little sucker's and threw them some BREAD????? Guess WHO put that on you to do it??? The same GOD WHO tell's the MOTHER that her kid's in trouble (with a FEELING INSIDE), thank GOD for GOD cause I woulda' been dead if my MOTHER hadn't a come out-side and saved me from the Devil tring to take-me-out when I was a little boy. The whole CREATION got messed-up and GOD has to work from the OUT-SIDE of it to HELP US!!!!-----but HE still does a pretty GOOD JOB of it, now how many time's have you almost been taken OUT, and then JUST IN TIME!!!!!!! Think bout' it!!!!!! Ditto!!!!

Greg gave you the best answer: there's not a different god for animals - the one and only God is the creator of all beings.

Yes, it's the same God as for the rest of us. God created all souls, including human, animal, vegetation, inanimate (earth, air, fire and water). We all return to God at the end of our physical incarnation. We are all of God. We are all individuations of God. God loves us all equally.

I think that Our God can help all. The Bible says that if you follow God and do good that he see's and remembers all the desires of your heart, so if an animal is ill and it is your desire to see them get well, pray about it and see what happens.
