No -
And we won't care - it will be a place of glory and light - we will hardly be able to remember this life.
Animals do not have souls - but they are a blessing to us.

As for Christianity, there is no direct evidence pointing to animals going to heaven. Their place appears to be on Earth.
However, some might argue that the horsemen mentioned in chapter 6 of Revelation originate from heaven. But who is to say they might originate from something else.
In short, the bible does not speak of many things such as the question you are asking. Animals are important (Noah saved a bunch, apparently) but their purpose appears to be in this world, not the next.

Yes, I think so. Animals are part of God's creation and are mentioned numerous times throughout the Bible. I think when my dog dies, he is just dead and I don't think he will be resurrected. But God is certainly able to create a new dog.
Both of these verses are from Isaiah, and indicate to me that God takes pleasure in the animals of His creation.
The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls, because I give waters in th wilderness and rivers in the desert.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together and a little child shall lead them.

No direct confirmation on that question is available.
Animals do not have souls so they will not reach heaven following the method available to us (salvation through Jesus). Will God bring animals to heaven or will He create (or have created already) animals to share the heaven experience with us? No data on this.

I believe so. People are animals (mammals). Don't see why God wouldn't have a heaven set aside for them as well.

Yes, God loves His animals
ISAIAH 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
They will not be carnivores, tho, because, like us, they will be in spiritual bodies, not in flesh bodies.

Yes if he created animals and he did, then he saved them from the flood, I would say that this would be evidence that there will be animal in God's Kingdom.

I believe that all life has souls, be it human, wolf, lizard, or eagle, so yes, I think animals will be in heaven.

uh uh My son asked me the same thing??? I know they don't have souls so no but in the Bible it says animals will be with us so I guess he will bring them back because too many of us want polly fido and whiskers with us. So he will bring them to be with us in the new city.
