Helping a Dehydrated Dog

My friend has a three year old boxer has had weight loss but still is eating normally. He is kept outside in a dog pin. Last night he was barking very unusually for him at night. He put him in the garage. When morning came he want to check on him. He did not want to stand up on his legs. His back end of his body looked very, very week like he can not support it. His gums in his mouth had a dry pink look. The temperature outside is 90. I dont know what the temperature was inside the garage.

When I went over there to look at him he was also sweating from his tongue like he had been for walk. His coat feels dry and brittle. All he wants to do is lay around. I am thinking he is dehydrated and/or in the early stages of hip dysplasia. He cannot afford to take him to the vet at this time. What can he do at home to get his dog back to feeling better?
