Not 'everything is in the Bible, like for instance the sutras and suras, but that doesn't mean they could still be true. In matters of faith (and this thread deals with such a question) we can ONLY build on what Scripture has tot say on it, not on what we ourselves find appropriate.God's will matters, not ours. God can do whatever He wants, but He isn't fickle, He's a trustworthy God. Now we believe that ultimately we can only read His will, His define plan for creation, in His Word, in Scripture. Our own 'insights' and wishes (apart from what from what we read in our Bible) don't matter with questions as these. And since there's no scriptural basis for an afterlife for animale etc. Feel free tot believe something else, but you have tot realize that whatever belief isn't scriptural isn't christian.
Animals could be in heaven when we get there, but as far as our pets that have died I really can't see why they would be. Our reward is Heaven for accepting Christ and living a good life. Animals have no moral code to live by. Jesus did not come to save animals but man. If our pets die and go to Heaven then wouldn't that make them more favored than us? I've never seen a Christian poodle. I've never seen an atheist goldfish.
Also, if you search scripture you'll never see anything about animals being pets. It says we are to care for the animals but they're never referred to as domesticated. Dogs are mentioned 40 times and are referred to as beasts and work animals. Never a family pet. Cats are never mentioned

How would it make sense that there can be animals, but not specifically the ones we've owned? Are they not animals that could reside within the Heaven and New Earth? Would that make the ones that were there more privileged than our own current ones here? I fail to see how that makes sense...
Caring for animals, whether we domesticate them or not, doesn't have that big of a difference when commanded that we rule and look after them. Does this mean that if we never kept our pet cat or dog inside with humans, they have a better chance than the animal with minimal human contact and strays with their own kind?

it's not the same as the afterlife.
