Are there anyone out there that believe when an animal die they go to heaven? I would really like to know, because christians and so forth don't believe they do go to heaven,because to go to heaven you have to have a soul that can accept christ in their heart and animals aren't that. I was a firm believer that animals automatically go to heaven like babies. Because, I have lost many pets in my life time, that I loved very much and I would like to think that when I die and go to heaven that I would see me pets again.

That is something that I have wanted to know for a long time myself~
But, there are just things that we will not know until we are there. There are alot of speculations on the subject, and they are understandable but there is no way for us to know exactly. Only Our Father knows that and knows what is going to happen, even if they don't have souls, I hope there is a special place for them as God has made them so special to us on Earth.

Well ... when you die and go to Heaven, you will not see people as you do here. The Bible tells us that we will all be changed. You're not gonna look like you do now. I mean Heaven is a place of peace and comfort (no more pain and no more tears). What if you got to Heaven and didn't see someone you loved dearly you'd be terrible sad. God doesn't want you to feel that way.
About animals going to Heaven, I don't know.

That question is going to have to be left open for the day we go to Heaven and see for ourselves.
But there are animals of some kind in Heaven; for in Revelations it speaks of horses, and there are these creatures that surround the throne of God whom have eagles wings, and lions mane and so on and so forth.....
I would hope so, for I also have pets......but you know something else, in our new Earth, there shall be animals for the Bible declares that there shall be a day when the lamb will be able to lay next to the lion.

Well, the Bible does not speak of animals being saved- because they are not human. But my dad believes his dog too is in heaven...and I am not going to tell him his dog isn't. I dont think its bad to think that- I mean it is not veering off into some false doctrine but just giving you hope that your pets are there...when I believe they aren't. BUT just so you know- when you get to heaven, you will not have any sadness if your pets aren't there- You will be OVERWHELMED with JOY to see your SAVIOR face to face!! It will be all about JESUS when we get there- We wont be the same as we are not- and we wont have the bodies we have now- nor the minds-
So just remember that.....And look forward to meeting your Savior face to face!

I would assume, if heaven is a perfect place and your pets are part of your happiness, that your pets would be with you so you could have your eternal happiness.

You may be able to reanimate them yourself. We will be perfectly in God's image, remember, so this might be within your capacity, if it is the Lord's will.
Certainly there is no scripture that even hints of this, so just idle speculation...

It's simply a question no one can answer for you.
