My list of Serenity Pets, an all dogs version:
Inara- Saluki
Book- Komondor
Zoe- German Shepherd, Schutzhund trained
Wash-(Parson?)Jack Russell Terrier
Mal- Shepherd/Collie mix
Jayne- Mastiff. Or a Fila. Or a Presa(sp?). Something along those lines.
Kaylee- Yorkie. Or maybe a Cocker Spaniel. Or a Lab.
Simon- Chow Chow
River- Wirehair Fox Terrier
I do dog grooming, and at the place where I work they also do training and confo shows and stuff, so lots of interesting people show up. We had a couple show up once that wanted someone to train their dog to stop sniffing the ground. That's right, they wanted to train their DOG to stop SNIFFING. What the heck?

I think Jayne has a little Maltese dog with pick ribbon. Jayne has a soft spot as big as the 'verse.

In regards to the whole scene that Hardware wrote about Mal and the pit, pure genius! I loved it. the characters were right on (except for Jayne - he is not THAT cruel). I'd recommend to you making a fanfic out of it - Pets On Serenity. I think everyone having a pet would be too much but some would be cool.
Mal: the pit (but only if found in that way)
Zoe: I think she might share Wash's, you know, a family pet. but she would NOT stand for a monkey. maybe they would both like a sheperd (one of the long haired black and white ones?) a goofy one!!!
IN THE MARKET:
Wash: come on zoe!!! look at him!!! he's soooo cute!!
Zoe: he's a monkey...
Wash: yeah...
Zoe: a monkey lamby toes?? (zoe looks at him with a disbelieving expression on her face)
Wash: he could help me in the cockpit! they're very smart you know.
Zoe: wash...
Wash: what???? we could name him fred.
Zoe. wash.... (exasperated)
Wash: (interupts) or bob!
Zoe: wash, we are not getting a monkey.
Wash: but lambytoes...
Zoe: captian wouldn't want it on the ship.
Wash: oh here comes the captian again. always what the captian wants...
Zoe: wash, don't be like that. maybe we can find something else.
Wash: yeah well (kinda moody now)
(NEXT TIME THEY'RE ON LAND THEY FIND THEIR DOG)
ACTUALLY, nobody take this. I want to write a fanfic on it. Do i have permission to use your scene hardware??? i'll include you in the thanks for the scene!!

'I'm not sure about Book. When he pokes his head around the corner looking for River with his hair sticking out, it reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it. Any ideas?'
go to - http://www.pettittsadventurepark.co.uk/animalCorner.asp?animal=tamarin
does that help? 
AS for pets for the crew/pets who remind you of the crew/own pets
Between my sisters house and mine we have three dogs, a giant schnauzer (sleek intelligent, with masses of curly black hair)a greatdane/neo mastiff/old english mastiff mix (a little dim, food oriented, but will back you up no probs) and a pure bread old english mastiff (really good looking dog for his breed and fiercly loyal to his family - do they remind you of anyone?)
With them being such large dogs - the biggest, the OEM, stands shoulder height at my hip bone, (I'm 5'8'')- all of their training has been very much focused on 'you do what I say, and you do it sharpish'
They are incredible animals,really gentle kind and sweet, and playful! My 4 year old niece has grown up around them her entire life and there has never been any worry on that score (we once found the dane cross attempting to change her diaper) and my cat is safe with them (though her food bowl ain't) even though they were introduced when both mature and the schnauzer was trained by her first owner to attack cats.
All three, (four, five?) breeds were originally bred for aggressive purposes (the mastiffs to attack and kill the warhorses of mounted knights, and the schnauzer is used as a police dog in germany for it's size and intelligence) but all three animals know when aggression is required and when not, and thats instinctive, not taught - we have never trained them as attack or guard dogs, they simply look out for their pack and monitor intruders intently. When out side one automatically stays in the rear, another in front while another 'ranges', searching hidden areas for threats and checking back regularly, all protecting us and most importantly my niece, its uncanny, but very reassuring. I have no qualms about being out at night in 'dangerous' areas, not because my dog is vicious but simply cause she is so much more aware and capable than me, plus the very sight of her is a deterent.
so thats what I think the crew of serenity would have if they did have animals - not exactly working guard dogs, but more 'members of the pack' - a bunch of dogs capable of acting indepentandly, to be alert and warn of threats and possibly deal with those threats if necessary, while the human crew gets down to the business of robbing banks and dealing with the likes of Badger and Patience, at the same time, the likes of Wash, Book, kaylee and River relating to them as beloved companions.
Lets face it, would Mal let any animal on board if it couldn't earn its keep? they eat dogs in this 'verse, if its not useful, its chow mein.
The only issue is the powerful bad problem with doggy gas, but maybe they could turn it into chemical weapons against the reavers...
