A dissolving 501(c)(3) has to distribute surplus assets to a 501(c)(3) or to government for public purposes; but as K'gra says the purpose of FurFright is to raise money for charity, I could see them donating funds to the War Dogs.
[501(c)(7)s are still non-profits and not taxed on most revenue; the key difference is donations are not tax-deductible for donors. But most members benefit little even if they itemize their deductions - rare for the furry demographic - since the value of services rendered is not deductible. e.g. if you sponsor at FC, you get to deduct $50, not $100. The risk of losing status is not worth it IMO. Plus, such conventions can end up focusing on raising money for charity, which is nice, but arguably a distraction from furry matters.]

I feel 501(c)(3) is a dubious choice for furry conventions. Such an organization must be run exclusively for exempt purposes - and many members are there just to have a good time. I would go with a 501(c)(7) social club, which is what Anthrocon and Furry Fiesta/DRAMA use (MFF, AAE/FC and FWA are 501(c)(3); Rainfurrest wants to be).
