The Bible says Who can say if the spirit of the animals go to heaven or not? I believe that they do. There are going to be lions laying down with lambs etc. God is love and anyone with a pet knows how much love they give. I think God would rather bring the ones He's already created there, instead of creating new ones. Just my opinion, but there is nothing in the Bible that says they won't be there. God bless!!

In the book of Genesis, we read of TWO creations. The first one was a spiritual creation, the second was a natural or physical creation. Animals are named in this spiritual creation as are other living things, so all living things have spirits::
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field BEFORE IT WAS IN THE EARTH, and every herb of the field BEFORE IT GREW. (Genesis 2:4 - 5)
In the Book of Revelation, it shows God on His throne and some strange animals worshipping before the throne. The strange wings and eyes described on the animals are symbolic for powers that these animals had. I think this indicates that there will be animals in heaven, as well as other creatures. I will be interested in reading other's comments.

First, you 'hear' people say things, you don't 'here' them.
Second, no one 'knows', because even if there is a heaven, no one who has ever been there has reported back. If someone tells you that they 'know' the answer, they're either lying to you, or to themselves.
Lastly, would YOU want to go to any kind of heaven that wouldn't allow animals? If they wouldn't let my dog into heaven, it's not heaven.

Animals deserve going to heaven more than humans.

I never really says anything about it in the bible, but God created animals, so I would assume they would go to heaven. But I can't say for sure...

Isaiah 65:25 tells us that there will be animals in Heaven. I don't know about pets, but maybe.

Why is it that when we die we apparently go to heaven, but all other animals just cease to exist? That seems like arrogance to me. Just becuase their brains can't aknowledge that they exist doesn't mean they shouldn't go to heaven. That's like saying people with dyslexia or babies don't go to heaven.

Only cute fuzzy animals go to heaven. You wouldn't want to go to heaven and find that it's full of skunks and mosquitos.
