Looks like they aren't poisonous, but I'd rather not try.
Its almost certainly a Wolf spider & is actually very unlikely to bite you unless you pick it up with bare hands, also even if it did get ahold of you, it wouldn't do any serious damage.
They are actually very beneficial, eating many pest-insects & the best bet would be to let it go outside despite its scary appearance.
