Get money back in case of scam

Hello, 

I’m about to buy a dog but the breeder wants a deposit through PayPal to reserve the dog for me. I won’t be able to go see the dog until next week therefore I’m scared this person will just take the money and disappear. 
in that case will I be able to get my money back? Or is there a way on PayPal to make secure deposits? 

thanks

That depends on many factors all listed in Paypals buyer protection policy for you to read so you can risk assess your transactions.
Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > buyer protection.
