If the identity of the deceased is well-known and he has bad karma waiting to be discharged, then they'll find the soul of a troublesome kid whom nobody likes or even worse a wild animal to put it in (such wild animals make up a proportion of the Hsunchen around Teshnos IMO).
But what about domestic animals? Well I suppose that the Teshnans do decide to be incarnated in a cow, horse or elephant out of religious dedication.
