Although they do not get "formally" married, many animals will "mate-for-life" meaning they will find an individual to stay and conceive with for the remainder of their lives.

In most cases you will see, what I would call a "standard" relationship where the male is just there to mate and protect, and the female feeds and raises the young. But you can also see clear examples of "modern" relationships, where the male will take over for awhile so the female can have a break. In very extreme cases you will also see situations where the female or male are completely absent, and sometimes both at the same time. (i.e. Sea Turtles)

So in many ways, humans are not such a far cry from animals, as we like to think.

Can any animals get married?

Animals don't get married, but some do have monogamous or mostly monogamous mating relationships. It's a good strategy for animals which have few young at a time and need to spend a lot of energy to look after them till they reach maturity."Marriage" (as opposed to reproductive monogamy) is a social and legal concept. Two people who aren't married can nevertheless be faithful to each other. I'm not aware of any legal jurisdiction that actually allows animals other than humans to marry in an official sense.If you want to pretend your dogs are married, feel free; just don't expect it to have any legal weight (or, for that matter, to make any difference to the dogs; they're not naturally monogamous, though coyotes are).
