Unfortunately this is a common scam.  People sell items from overseas, typically for extremely low prices, require money up front, with additional funds requested once they find someone that took the bait (yourself). The money is gone, I'm sorry.  Do not pay anymore.  There never was a puppy.  And there is no such things as "puppy abandonment."
