All Creation Was Made for God's Glory

 The Word -Animal is from the Latin word that means "living" or anima meaning "soul"

 The following excerpts were taken from Jim Venable's site "Do Animals Go to Heaven"

The Salvation of the Animals - All created things will be redeemed along with the saints for life in the new heaven and the new earth.  Those who say that animals can't be saved because they don't have a soul are mistaken.  Whether or not they have a soul has no bearing on their destiny in the kingdom of God.  Were they created?  If yes, and they aren't people or angels who rebelled against the knowledge of Christ, they'll be there.

 .the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God (Romans 8:21).

 God's Eternal Covenant with Every Living Creature - Lest there be any doubt about this, consider the everlasting covenant of salvation and life that God made with Noah after the flood.  It specifically included him, his family, his descendants, and all living creatures (Genesis 9:8-16).

 Jesus said that, at His coming, it will be just like it was in Noah's day.  He thereby reaffirmed His Father's everlasting covenant with us and all the living creatures.  Through Noah's story we discover that Jesus is the Ark of salvation for all the innocent creatures God loves.  When He comes, He'll take all of them home.
