With this genuine caring for animals, we asked: What happens to animals after they die?  These two clips from the lds.org website give some thoughts as per the question.

According to the Prophet Joseph Smith, there are at least some animals in heaven. He said:

“John saw curious looking beasts in heaven; … actually there, giving glory to God. … (See Rev. 5:13.) …

So, although we don’t have a complete understanding of what happens to animals after they die, we believe that they will enjoy some kind of salvation and immortality. March 2012 Liahona

“I have always had a love of nature and animals…It has been the principal theme in my artwork. It seems appropriate now that my artwork can serve to illustrate one of the most fundamental messages of the gospel: that God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all things that are in them, that all nature bears testimony of that divinely directed creation, and that there is complete harmony between nature, science, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.”  Boyd K Packer   Church News 20 APRIL 2012
