Dozens of exotic animals were left abandoned in Portsmouth including 20 turtles.

Now the Portsmouth Humane Society is trying to find homes for them.

The turtles were found in old bathtubs outside of a Portsmouth home on Thursday.

Investigators were looking for a missing dog when they found the reptiles.

Now they are being cared for and will hopefully find a home soon.
