Nowhere does Scripture explicitly state that animals do not have souls...There is nothing in Scripture I know of that would preclude the possibility of animals' continued existence...The Bible does give us some reason to hope that departed animals will be restored. We read in the Bible that redemption is a cosmic matter. The whole creation is destined to be redeemed through the work of Christ (Romans 8:21), and we see the images of what heaven will be like; beautiful passages of Scripture tell us about the lion and lamb and other animals being at peace with one another.(Isaiah 11:6-8). Whenever heaven is described, though it may be in highly imaginative language, it is a place where animals seem to be present. Whether these are animals newly created for the new heavens and the new earth, or they are the redeemed souls of our pets that have perished, we can't know for sure.

Jack Van Impe says all pets go to heaven. Jack Van Impe also said he received a thank you letter on the topic from Mrs. George Bush, Jr., First Lady, wife of Texas Methodist President George Bush, Jr. This must mean that it's all religiously and theologically true and correct, at least according to the President of the United States of America.

Every religion I know of claims that animals other than humans have no soul, and thus believe that they just die and nothing happens after that. I, on the other hand, believe that humans are no superior to other living things just because we are bipedal and have big brains. That doesn't make us any more of an animal. I believe that all living things merely decompose and are thus spread out once more into the cycle of matter. I am very anti-anthropocentric.

There is no afterlife. What you're asking is really no different than: "How many fairies can dance on the head of a pin?"
One must presuppose that an afterlife (or fairies) exists with no evidence before there is reasoning enough to ask such a question.

I think they go to Heaven. I don't think I have biblical proof, but in Psalms it says that the wolf will eat with the sheep or something like that. but it could be symbolic. And our Paradise was supposed to be the earth and God had animals there, so why won't they? And I believe animals have spirits because they have emotions and stuff. I don't know.

rainbow bridge.
its a mythological place where our animals goes. its a large meadow with nice weather and beautiful nature. animals have lots of toys to play with and lots of food to eat, and they enjoy company with other animals. but when people die, the rainbow bridge is a connection with heaven, so people can go on that bridge to the meadow and meet again with their pets.

Heaven and Hell are imaginary. Nobody goes anywhere.

According to christian theology, all animals are soulless beasts and therefore cannot gain entry into said "Heaven" or "Hell"
