Podencos are the most used hunting dogs in the Canary Islands and Adopta podenco de Lanzarote rely on adopters on mainland Europe for homes for their podencos, cruelly abandoned by the hunters. Some are adopted in Scandinavia where there are no abandoned dogs or shelters.

Some are adopted in Italy through Podencos Angels. Not always sure that is a good idea as Italy also has a problem of abandoned dogs.
