looking for a turtle/tortoise

Hello. I've been wanting a turtle or tortoise for a while, but am not sure what I want. Turtles are cute, but I think I'm aiming for a tortoise. I want something small with a nice disposition. I live in Wisconsin and would like to at least take it outdoors on nice days. (My future husband wants me to bring my 2yo 100 lb husky-malamute mix when I move in with him, so I wouldn't be leaving them outside together just to be safe.) I'm also leaning towards something that doesn't need to hibernate because I'm not sure how to handle that.

I'm nowhere close to being able to afford another reptile right now, but I want to have a good idea of what I want to avoid impulse buys when I do have the money. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
