Animals don't share DNA with other animals. A virus can inject a DNA fragment into an animal cell, but that won't have an evolutionary effect unless it happens in either a sperm or egg cell and in a location of the genome that disrupts it in some way.

Bacteria, though not animals, do share DNA with other bacteria and through intake from the outer environment. They can gain valuable genes that would help them survive in the process.
