For one, winter is coming along w/ the cold weather. I think you should call animal control or look up on the internet endanged animals. Someone will come and remove him from your deck and properly care for and place him. In the meantime, give it fresh water and food such as lettuce, kale, grapes, ect...... but i would definately have it removed because it will suffer if it stays there. try to keep ur dog on a tie out, or away from the turtle. this can cause the turtle distress.

If you truly want to care for the turtle, first identify what kind of turtle it is and what sorts of food it needs. Make sure it has easy access to water and can be safely contained somewhere where your dog can't get to it. (It may be a pet someone's discarded.) Otherwise (if it causes your dog too much distress) take it to your local shelter or wildlife foundation and let them relocate it to an area where it can live on its own.

Just leave the turtle alone. He will be fine.
I don't think he will hurt your dog and vice versa, so just leave it alone.
Just maybe your dog will annoy the turtle enough to help it find a new home under someone elses deck.

Animals can usually take care of themselves. It got there somehow and can get out if it wants. The big problem seems to me to be your annoying yapping dog. Just keep your foolish dog away from it.
We had a big snapping turtle that came out of the woods one time. It is best to leave these things alone. They could bite your hand off.

You need to identify what species you're dealing with. If this is a native species to your area you should leave it alone. NO ONE SHOULD EVER TAKE A NATIVE ADULT TURTLE FROM THE WILD. You're removing decades of egg-laying and population growth if you do. If it's a non-native species, the kind of care it needs depends on what kind of turtle it is.

Leave it alone. It is probably trying to find a good hibernation spot and may move on.
If it is a problem, contact the animal shelter, wildlife rescue, or herpetological society in your area about moving it.

You don't care for it. Turtles aren't domesticated animals. Put it back in the ditch, it will take care of itself.
