MYRTLE BEACH — Some chefs study their way to the top, but O.A.K. Prime's Jerrett "JK" King got there the hard way.

CONWAY — Jennifer Elvis never knows when her phone or doorbell will ring. Founder of a small nonprofit that works to adopt and foster out dogs, her labor of love is confronting a stark reality: As Horry County adds people in record numbers, animals follow.
