Just adopted a dog from the pound and neutered on the same day. He needs a bath.

Yes, Earth Bath wet wipes for puppies is my favorite, They are sold at both Petco and also PetSmart.
I've also used a foam based cleaner that does not require water and then, pat dry with a soft towel. I'd be real careful where to apply it like even if it were a human with stitches. Gentle. Ever so gently.

A damp cloth does fine as well (and free)... I used some cotton painters rags I had.
I'll give Cheech a good wipe down twice a month or so and then brush him.

As to bath frequency (which many will do far too often):
During the last year Cheech had a total of three baths.
Each because of him getting into something stinky and NOT because he was otherwise dirty.

These wet wipes work very well. You can get them at stores like PetsMart or order from Amazon:
