Assuming the problem animals are going to be within 50 yards or so, 60 at the max-max, then a 20 gauge ought to do you fine. You can get light 2 3/4" bird shot loads that won't knock you down or penetrate board walls in #6-9 shot. And you can get 3" magnum turkey loads or duck loads that will take a fox or coyote with #4's or steel 3's.
The alternative is something along the lines of a 22 rimfire or one of the 17's in rimfire. Next up the ladder is the small caliber centerfires but you're getting into very loud, long range stuff. If you aren't a gun guy I'd find a nice used 20 gauge pump, Mossberg is often found under $200.00. It'll work without you having to be a dead shot and they are user friendly.
The other thing is to get someone to show you how to use the thing SAFELY. Find a gun shop, gun buff, EnCon officer, Trooper/Deputy/retired cop, etc to show you the ropes. You have to think safety first at all times, just like any other tool.
