Pet heaven?

Do you believe in pets going to heaven? Where is it? Will we see them when we get there? What pets can go - and will all pets be in the same 'heaven'? I believe, but don't know if I am in the minority?!

If there are Heaven & Hell, I believe that all pets will go to heaven...Because when they kill an animal or a human they do for survival.

Its not that they kill or not kill, think to the start. No animal ever has had the knoledge of right or wrong and therefore cannot commit sin. Since no animal can commit sin they cannot violate gods law and therefore cannot go to hell. I know the snake fooled eve to give the fruitstuff to adam who ate it, but thats an exception.

There is definitely a pet heaven. The bible states that all creatures will be welcomed in heaven. There is no more gentle creature than a loving pet. I have no doubt we will see them as well as those we love someday in heaven.

It is true that the Bible states that there will be animals in heaven and that the lion will lay down with the lamb. However, it does not state clearly if our pets will be there. I have been told that animals do not have souls and therefore, don't go to heaven. I don't believe it. Each pet anyone has, has an independent personality. I believe they do have a soul, maybe not like our souls, but a soul. God cares about the sparrow and every creature. I believe that God created animals to show us the true meaning of being there for someone, the best example of faithfulness. They are there when we are happy, there when we are sad. What would heaven be like without our faithful companions? I believe that just like when he was alive, when I came home, my beloved Patches would great me whole heartedly from his head to his wagging tail that when I go home to heaven, he will be there to greet me. That would make heaven complete for me.

I do believe pets go to heaven because God created all creatures and will welcome them home when their time on earth is done. This subject is especially difficult for me right now as we had to put our dog down 3 days ago due to old age. I'm still crying and praying God is taking good care of her until we see her again.

If there's a heaven for dogs...I know he'll be there..chasing birds and squirrels and giving God the best company he could ever have because there was no one as true and faithful as my old friend! Quote from "Old Friend" in To Touch a Heart by Jill Holmes Yes. I believe there is a heaven for pets! They are special creatures God gives to us to keep us company...and be faithful and true friends.

Yes, it is true that there are pets in heaven. Creatures are made both in heaven and earth. :-)

It is in my opinion, that there is a such thing as a pet heaven. The reason why I truely believe this is for the fact that I have a belief that all living creatures will go somewhere whenever they die. If I believe that I will go to heaven when I die, then I should believe that every other animal, or living creature will as well. There should be no discimination between ever living creatue in the world. Another reason why I believe that there is a "Pet Heaven" is because I am a pet owner myself. I have three dogs, each one, being true and dear to my heart. I would be lost if I found out they none of my pets would go somewhere devine.
