Type of a scam Online Purchase

I contacted this French bulldog breeder in the hopes of purchasing my husbands dream dog. They are located in Nebraska and I am in Alabama. They posted the pups for $850 with shipping included in that price. I sent money via Western Union and They purchased the ticket and told me my pup would be on the plane on May 18th. 20 minutes before the pups plane was supposed to leave, I recieved an email from the breeder with an attachment from the airline stating that they just informed him that the pup needed an air conditioned crate. The attachment stated that it would need to be rented for $100 and then held as collateral with $800. I explained to the breeder that I did not have that extra money laying around and that we needed to cancel this whole transaction. He stated that was fine and he could refund me $700 on 05/20. I have sent numerous emails, texts, and made calls and he is not responding to me. I just want my money back.
