The first one would never be correct.
Use 's to show possession by a singular noun. Ex: if the dog belonged to one girl it would be the girl's dog.
Use s' to show possession by plural noun. Ex: if two girls owned the dog it would be the girls' dog.
So,"The girl owns the dog." becomes the girl's dog
while "The girls own the dog." becomes the girls' dog.
SO in your case if a parent bought a dog for their girls and one day comes home and the place is a mess, it was the girls' dog. But if the parent bought one girl a dog and it made a mess then it was the girl's dog.
The only time you can have "girls" without the apostrophe would be if "dog" is a verb, which it could be. For example, "In the book about Nancy Drew and her friend, the girls dog the steps of a thief."
