Have you contacted the Humane Society or local dog shelter? (whatever you have in your area) Sometimes they have dog traps that they will lend out so people can catch problem animals. It doesn't sound like your neighbor would spend the money to get his dogs back from the pound, but at least you could eliminate one or two this way without having to use a gun.
I recommend to everyone that they take a basic gun safety class. You said you are afraid of guns, well, there are alot of guns out there in the world and there is no reason to be afraid of them. Get some training so that if something extreame happens, you at least have the knowledge to safely remove a gun from the reach of your child. You don't have to be a crack shot, but have the basic skills to deal with a situation. I have many firends who were afraid of guns, until they came over adn I taught them some basic gun safety. Shooting pop cans and bowling pins has changed many minds at my house, I have a couple of friends who have now joined shooting ranges to get their fix.
