They attain the human form of life. Here is from 1st Canto SB:

 

The procedure under which animal sacrifice is allowed in the scriptures is

good both for the animal sacrificed and the animal-eaters. It is good for the

animal in the sense that the sacrificed animal is at once promoted to the

human form of life after being sacrificed at

the altar, and the animal-eater is saved from grosser types of sins (eating

meats supplied by organized slaughterhouses which are ghastly places for

breeding all kinds of material afflictions to society, country and the people

in general).
