There are no advantages and many disadvantages to placing a living animal in a communications satellite, so no one would consider doing that.

Since communications satellites are expected to function in orbit for many years, it would be necessary to provide food, water and air for the animal sufficient for those years, unless you wanted to quickly have a dead animal on the satellite. In either case, the animal would not improve the function of the satellite, and would make it much more costly to build and to launch.
