Edit: We have already freed them. We were worried that they were poisonous and something could happen to our dog. Thank you very much to all.

Definitely a type of wall/rock lizard. Hard to see their markings, maybe ready to molt? I don't think they're poisonous, and I also don't think there even are any poisonous lizards. Regardless, should release them. The only reason not to would be if you definitely know that they're an invasive species. Some of these types of lizards are endangered too, so.
