Type of a scam Online Purchase

My husband and I were searching online for breeders because we wanted a new puppy. We came across this website and found a puppy we liked. We contacted the breeder by following the directions on the site and shared which puppy we were interested in. An email was sent back with the pricing information as well as letting us know for $150 they can fly to puppy to us.

I wound up having some questions and tried to call the number that was given but all I ever got was an answering machine. I also wanted to ensure that $150 was the correct amount for shipping the pup, so I emailed that question and they replied that it was correct. Anytime I tried to call, I didn’t get an answer. I wound up sending partial payment for the puppy by Zelle app per the breeders request and immediately followed up by email to make sure payment was received but I never heard back. I tried emailing and calling the rest of the day all the way up to 9:00 pm and no answer. At this point I knew I had been scammed.
