Can you ID this tiny guy?

I found this poor little bugger being terrorized by my dog in the livingroom this evening. As you can see it's just teenie tinnie!!!

A little info...
I'm in Tampa, FL
This little froggie does have toe pads and can climb
it also has ONE HELL OF A JUMP! for such a tiny little bugger.

It now as a skin tear on it's belly from the dog (I would have saved it sooner but I really thought it was a stray cricket and our dog loves chasing and eating them)

Is there a chance I can get it to heal so I can release it again? Should I try to feed it even with the boo boo belly?

And what the heck is it? It doesn't match the little grass frog because it doesn't have the mask through it's eyes. And it doesn't match the photos of any peepers. It doesn't have smooth skin, kind of "gritty" with tiny green, brown and red spots. I will try to get another picture to post but I don't want to kill it with stress.

Hope someone can help! Thanks!!!

It's definitely not a leo. I've raised those from tads and they didn't look anything like this guy. Plus, this one is a tree frog of some kind because it's a climber and has itty bitty toe pads. It's only about 1/2 inch in size so it could very well be a baby. But a baby what? LOL :D
