The most common mascot symbol for the party is the donkey.
According to the Democratic National Committee, the party itself never officially adopted this symbol but has made use of it. They say that Andrew Jackson's opponents had labeled him a jackass during the intense mudslinging that occurred during the presidential race of 1828. A political cartoon titled "A Modern Balaam and his Ass" depicting Jackson riding and directing a donkey (representing the Democratic Party) was published in 1837.
A political cartoon by Thomas Nast in an 1870 edition of Harper's Weekly revived the donkey as a symbol for the Democratic Party.
Cartoonists followed Nast and used the donkey to represent the Democrats, and the elephant to represent the Republicans.
Note that the rooster is the only symbol ever recognized officially by the Democrats, although there is some question as to whether or not it was adopted on a regional or national level. The rooster still appears on many state ballots and may date to the 1840 "Log Cabin & Hard Cider" presidential election.
