I believe there will be animals in heaven. God made them and people love them. I think they will be in heaven with us. Revelation 19:11-14 describes armies on white horses in heaven.
Then there are all the beloved pets waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. I think we will be reunited with them when the time comes.
What do you think? Will we see animals in heaven? Will your pets be waiting for you? Do you have stories to share?

@Laurakemunto Hold on to those hopes and beliefs because the world is getting stranger every day. Your faith may be the only thing to hang on to.

Yes, God created animals for his own pleasure and for ours, also. They will definitely be in heaven, where the lion will lie down with the lamb. No fighting, no anger, no dissension, no malice, no pain. Everything will be beautiful, in perfect harmony.

I absolutely believe there will be animals in Heaven, as I always think about the verse that talks of the lion laying down with the lamb. I fully expect to see my past dogs there, and look forward to hugging and kissing their little heads again.

@akalinus I'm not sure. All I know is that we will be living in perfectness in heaven.
Is perfectness a word? haha

@Laurakemunto I would enjoy talking to family that I never got to meet and their dogs will get to know my dogs.

I sure hope so, as I have loved animals in my life as much or more than people.

When I was little, I trusted animals more than people. I wanted to be a veterinarian but life did not turn out that way. We returned home one day to find that our rabbits, chickens, and ducks were not alive anymore. I always wanted to find out why.

@snowy22315 We never found out why it happened. It was a very long time ago. I always wondered what it could be.

I really don't know of scripture that says there won't be animals in heaven, so I'd like to believe there will be.

Yes, yes and yes. I firmly believe that our dogs are waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge; and we will all be reunited in Heaven. How could they not be there? They would make us so happy! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I'm not sure. Billy Graham said if God wants him to be happy in Heaven (and He does) his dog will be there.
