Nah, “squirrel” and “girl” rhyme in my dialect, too. It’s debatable whether you want to consider those words one or two syllables, though.

Well, sort of. The [ɫ] is so short, it can be heard as a triphthong (with the being a dipthong of [ɜ] and [ɹ]). The thing is, [ɹ] and [l] go so poorly together, that you hear the same triphthong/extra syllable in words like girl.
In other words, both would be transliterated as ending with [ɝɫ]. Whether you count the [ɫ] as separate syllable is your choice.
