Unhappy Desperately need help with dog's skin problems!

Please help!
We have a 3-year-old half German shepherd/half black lab.
We got him two years ago from the Humane Society, and he has been plagued with skin problems from the start. He has bald spots on his belly and often bleeds from small wounds on his face. He almost always has a terrible body odor.
We've taken our poor dog to two vets and spent a ridiculous amount of money on medicine and shampoo and creams and NOTHING helps. "He has some kind of allergy," the vets tell us. "But there's no way to really know what."
I have four children who adore the dog, but his smell is overwhelming.
Can anyone offer advice? I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thank you!
