They eat leafy greens (like hibiscus or mulberry leaves, clover, dandelions), opuntia cactus pads. Some lettuce and shallow large water dish to rehydrate it would be helpful.

@Yvonne G can you help?

It's a box turtle. Please clean it off and check for wounds. If it looks fine release it out of the dogs range.

Give it a warm water soak for about20 minutes. Then post another picture so we can tell what species it is to know if it's native
