Sadly not as rare as they should be. There is an Ibizan Hound/ Podenco rescue problem in Spain. Many dogs are apparently dumped or killed (by hanging) at the end of the hunting season. I know a couple of people who have taken in rescue Ibizans from Spain and they are always looking for more homes. It's the same problem as the poor galgos, they are not seen as pet dogs - though there are even more galgos, I understand

Plus there is Houndsavers - they home both podencos and galgos in the UK, but I don't think they have their website sorted yet.
