Tucan Sam represents Fruit Loops cerial. What about the Trix rabbit? :)
Jackasses represent blind stubborness, unwillingness to change (especially from making a mistake), stupidity, unforgiving, short sightedness, and short-term memory.
Foxes represent cleverness, trickiness, thievery, shrewd, cunning.
Squirrels represent silliness, playfulness, taking one's self too seriously.
Now to address the attributes you mentioned...
Dogs represent loyalty (trust), true friendship, skillfulness, working together.
Rabbits often represent luck, good fortune (as in fruitfulness, fertility), carefree attitude, and cowardice (weakness, as in feminity)
Owls represent wisdom, self-restraint, that part which remains hidden.
I can't think of an animal that, in itself, represents something purely positive. Lots of positive traits to many animals.
Elephants is an animal with lots of positive traits.
Elephants represent hard work, extreme intelligence, great strength (especially in working together), learn from history (due to their great memories), strong protective natures (preservative), cautious, decent (appropriate), good taste (respectable, honorable)

Elephant: The Elephant carries the energies of wisdom, luck, loyalty and strength. Revered in many cultures, the White Elephant was once chosen by Buddha as one of his incarnations. Ganesh, a Hindu god that is said to be the “remover of obstacles”, was described as having the head of an Elephant.
Elephants live to be 60 years or more and are known for their long memory and loyalty to its family. The message of the Elephant may be reminding you that you create your own “luck” when you keep your focus on positive thoughts and actions.

The Raven is most closely associated with Odin, and as such, are birds of cunning, swift moving intelligence, esoteric wisdom, victory, war and death. Odin's two ravens, named Huginn and Muninn (translated as "thought" and "memory" respectively) sit at each of his shoulders and whisper in his ears all they see and hear. Shamanically, they represent the mind of the seer, flying silently through the 9 worlds of the universe, gathering hidden knowledge, gaining in wisdom, insight and inspiration. As birds of omens, the flight of ravens were used in predicting the future, while their harsh cries foretold the outcome of battles. Carrion birds associated with death, ravens will accompany the souls of the dead to the various afterworlds, and as such are blessed with the clear vision of the mysteries of life, death and rebirth.
Under the raven banners, the Viking invaders were said to be invincible against the English armies.
