Apologies, and I believe that Godbreathed the breath of life and man became a living soul. Nephesh sounds like personality to me, not an actual spirit.
That does not take away from God resurrecting beloved pets.
The Bible never mentions a resurrection for animals, it only promises a resurrection for humans. Even if God did resurrect animals, He would not give them spiritual bodies and a home in heaven so that they could be with Christians, and some animals physical bodies again so that they could be with the humans living on the earth. It just isn't in God's plan as revealed in the Bible. There is no judgement day for animals!

That ^^^ is neither necessary, required, offered, or given to Animals, or BTW…angels.
Angels will be judged. 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 (WEB):

(2) Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
(3) Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?​

Don't forget that humans are lower than angels, including Jesus when he was a man - Hebrews 2:6-9 (WEB):

(6) But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?​
(7) You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.​
(8) You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t see all things subjected to him, yet.​
(9) But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.​
