The Bible says animals have a soul right here....
"But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind."
(Job 12:7-10).

Dandelions got souls? Who knew? How about clams? Surely they are living things..........are they not?
Does this mean Ragweed will be in Heaven? Geezzee, I'm allergic to Ragweed, makes my eyes water, I sneeze and cough, and feel really miserable.
all living beings have a soul..including animals.. God created animals, thusly gave them souls.. and how do we know that things such as clams and trees, as p_rehbein mentioned, DON'T have souls? There are many things that God has chosen for us not to know..just so we'll be surprised when we get to heaven..lol.
Just a passage of Scripture to contemplate.......not aimed at any other comment here..........
1 Corinthians 15:35 .) But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 .) Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 .) And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 .) But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 .) All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 .) There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 .) There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 .) So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 .) It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 .) It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 .) And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 .) Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 .) The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 .) As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 .) And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 .) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

I kinda base the animals going to heaven thing with love...I know some believers who really have a sincere love for their pets...I have seen God answer prayers and relate very much to believers on behalf of their pets. If some animals go to heaven I think it will be based on love in some way...that God will honor that love in some way...not sure how? But we can know the character and nature of our God is that we are precious and dear in His site, and what is precious to us, is precious to Him.
But to make a biblical discussion either way? I cannot

I don't know about all the plants, but I think the Bible is clear that all animals will be there. There are some plants mentioned as being forever present in the Kingdom of Heaven, I think the tree of life will be one of those...the plants would be another study. I never had my heart broke by a plant dying, so I never cared to look into it I guess.
