If you find an anole in the house, sneak up behind him with a dish towel, toss the dish towel over the anole and wrap it gently around the anole and take him outside and shake him out so he gets back to his normal habitat. Do not pick him up by the tail as it will snap off.

It is easy and works every time.

For those that are gender challenged, replace him with her if you want.
I love Caveman's compassionate removal technique.

I checked "Wikianswers.com" and they say anoles are not poisonous to animals. However I don't let my dogs catch them just in case. And also because geckos are adorable and eat bugs.
