    Sounds like green tree frog, but really the best would be to let it go live where it belongs, in a wild, too many problems with wild caught frogs, too expensive if you really want to keep it ( testing, treating, etc...) and that if to put aside ethical aspect.... Get captive bred instead, for one you will support the hobby and you will have way less problems with your frogs, including veterinary problems.
    Your decision, but if you choose to keep it, would you please post pic( you need to upload it to any picture hosting sites and then post URL here), we will help you properly ID it and set up with husbandry.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    The advice given to you is very helpful, and another quick way to tell what type of animal you have. If it has toe pads, it's a type of tree-frog. (Hyla) If it has a long narrow snout and stays near water, you have a type of "True frog." (Lithobates, formerly Rana) If it has warty skin (And no toe pads mind you, there are two tree-frogs with warty skin in the US) and stays burrowed somewhat, you have a "True toad" (Anaxyrus, formerly Bufo)
