I have had some wonderful
pets through the years,
and
came to love them dearly
before they died.
Is there any
chance that I will see them
again In God's Kingdom?

From all indications in the Bible, only humans, of all God's physical creation, are destined to live again in the Kingdom of God. Only humans were made in God's image (Genesis 1:26) and given minds for the purpose of developing righteous character, which fits us for eternal life.
Animals go to their graves when they die (Ecclesiastes 3:21), like all physical creatures, including humans: But humans will be resurrected (John 5:28-29). No such promise is given for beasts.
