Do animals have souls? Will I see my dog in heaven? Please say yes!, I love my dog so much!
(I know what your thinking...What kind of dumb question is this)

Animals have souls; yes. A soul is the mind, will & emotions.
I don't think they have spirits, which is more in line with what I think you're asking.

I have read quite a few times(not in the Bible) of animals in heaven. I have no proof but I believe there are animals in heaven. When I had to have my old, cancerous, dog euthanized I prayed that the Holy Spirit would come for her. I won't bore you with details but my husband and I think he did come for her.
I am confident you will see your dog again.

There is only a slight indication that animals may be in heaven too.
God does love His creation even though it has been corrupted by sin and its effect on all of it. But He does tell us about the " lion laying down with the lamb"...which would indicate that heaven and the new earth will have animals.

There is a verse in the bible that talks about the judgment after we have knowledge of sins. For that reason, I don't believe that any being incapable of understanding responsibility for right or wrong actions is accountable. For that reason, I think that God does not send a dog to hell.
Also, there are scriptures about the lion laying down with the lamb and another about caring about the sparrows. If a God cares about them, I think he cares about your dog, as well.
But let me ask you some food for thought. You love your dog and you care about his soul, right? Doesn't it stand to reason that God also cares about people's souls the same way? And that is why he sent his son to die for you and for me so that anyone can be in heaven.

Souls (mind ,will and emotion) yes. Spirit, no. There certainly will be animals in heaven, so why not pets who have been so important in a person's life? It is possible at least.

The bible tells us that one day the lion will lay down with the lamb, so it appears that there are some animals there. So why not dogs as well?

yes, because mine is up there too and I will see her too.. and it isn't a dumb question, people do lose their pets that they love and they also want to know that they will see their pet again, I have lost many that I was real close to but the last one so far was the hardest and in my heart I do believe I will see mine again..

Basic Catholic and Bible doctrine, including St. Thomas Aquinas, say "no".
I say: "BOLLOCKS!!"
My dog, your dog, every-body's dog, will be in heaven.
No? No animals get in, you say?
Where do the horses come from in the Book of Revelation?

I don't believe in souls, so I don't believe dogs have souls any more than I believe humans have souls.
