sorry for the delayed reply -- the amphibian boards here don't get as much action as would be ideal. I'd personally try to get the frog back to wherever it was found. Even if it doesn't seem like great frog habitat it did manage to get there and if it has a problem then it can just go back to where it came from. If it's possible, release it at night or as late in the evening as possible so it can find moisture without needing to put up with a 90 degree blazing sun

I thought you said "upstares area" instead of "upstate". If it's close enough then I'd try to have the kid bring it back but if that's not an option then either do as you are doing and try to find a taker or you can relase it near a pond in the woods. Hardwood forests are a major portion of their summer habitat but they need ponds in the early summer/late spring to breed. As long as it's released in a place that has both then maybe it will figure things out. If you're still trying to find a place for it and can make it to Vermont easily (not sure where in NY you are located) then I think the echo center on Lake Champlain is looking for a Gray Treefrog. If that's the case then email me at kvbriggs@uvm.edu and I'll get more information ASAP
