Legal Question in Consumer Law in Ohio

Internet law

I live in Michigan and placed a deposit by paypal on a dog in Ohio on December 27th. The next morning our furnace burned up. I called the breeder and pleaded with them to refund my money, they would not. I had to drive 4 hours to get this dog the next day or risk loosing my deposit and the dog. I had no choice. They do state on their website that refunds or non-refundable, but being within 24 hours, do I have any rights? I now have this dog I do not want, but they said because I signed this contract which I had to sign or they would have kept the dog AND my money. I am now stuck with this dog and need the money. Is there anything that protects a buyer because they had not even had my money even 24 hours. The bank could not cancel it, nor could paypal..as paypal works fast.

Thank you for your time.

Re: Internet law

There is no grace period to back out of a contract unless it involves a loan using your house as collateral. contract. The dog is yours to do as you please with, such as sell it to someone who wants it.
