What's an animinal friendly way to get rid of opossums in my Garland veg garden, short of calling city animal control?

They just showed up and I have two small Shiz Tsu dogs and am afraid of problems. :?

City animal control may be limited to providing you a live trap. If they do pick up they often put them to sleep vs relocation. Each city has their own policies. In Coppell, skunks, racoons and possums were put to sleep, armidillos were released elsewhere.
Get your own live trap and you will be in charge of their future.
