* One school of ancient Greek philosophy held a belief similar to this. Thales, the founder of Greek philosophy, believed that any object that moved itself under its own power showed evidence that it had a soul. Thus any animal would certainly have soul. Since a magnet could move towards a piece of iron, it too would have a soul. Presumably, iron filings moving towards a magnet would have souls. * Hinduism

Addendum:

Shinto and other animist religions contend all creatures and things have spirits which may equate to souls in this context.

This depends on what you believe. Do you believe Heaven or Hell are second lives of a sort? The answer would then be yes.

Near Death Experiences have been documented by multiple doctors and health care professionals as well in support of this idea. So it all comes back to what you believe. You need to know for sure what you believe, because we all die and our soul has to go somewhere.
