I don't know if there is a word for the above question or not, but if there is please help.

I enjoy human or animal interaction, and without such I begin to feel extremely bored and lose interest in most everything, even stuff that would normally help a person be free of that boredom.

If nobody is around, I feel bored and usually stop the game I'm playing, or book I'm reading, begin talking a bit less, and just don't feel up to doing really anything. However if there is someone around, or if there is an animal around like a cat or dog, I lose that bored feeling and begin talking more and doing the above things stated previously.

What is the word I'm looking for? I honestly do not know.

If someone could get back to me quickly, that would be much appreciated.

    Sounds like you are gregarious by nature

Sociable works really well here (specifically, definition 2a on that site).

1 : inclined by nature to companionship with others of the same species : SOCIAL

2 a : inclined to seek or enjoy companionship

2 b : marked by or conducive to friendliness or pleasant social relations

Also from Merriam-Webster, this examples shows the use of "sociable" when dealing with animals:

"The gorillas that are interacting with the kids might be more chill and sociable generally, and that might be what’s attractive about them."

You may also consider the word extroverted:

the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self
