Our Story

Little Woods Animal Hospital is located at 102 Rainbow Drive Cabot, Arkansas. Little Woods took over the vacant building that was previously known as High Hopes Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Whitt Bell was born not far in Hickory Plains, Arkansas. When we found an opportunity to practice his profession while giving back to a community close to his hometown, he took advantage of that chance. While Little Woods Animal Hospital is not affiliated with the former High Hopes, we did transfer all the records over. We opened our doors on September 13th, 2021, and we have not looked back since!

Little Woods Animal Hospital prides themselves on the care and compassion they offer to each pet that walks through the door, whether it’s a brand-new puppy/kitten or an elderly companion. We would love the opportunity to help you care for your pet. Give us a call today for pricing, more information on the services we offer, or to schedule an appointment.

We look forward to meeting you and building a relationship with your animals.

During his time at U of A, Dr. Bell was a part of the Pre-Veterinary Club, D.E. King Equine Program, and a part of the first U of A horse judging team. In 2016, he was awarded one of the Arkansas Veterinary Foundation Scholarships and graduated from LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 2018. Dr. Bell & his family currently lives in Hickory Plains with five dogs; Hank and June (Redbone Coonhounds), Bo and Stetson (Border Collies), and Willow (Chocolate Lab). He is always outdoors, hunting, fishing, & spending time with family. Dr. Bell’s favorite part about being a Veterinarian is surgery and learning new techniques to better his patients. He loves getting to meet people and building relationships with them.

Dr. Kali Stephens

We’re so excited to officially welcome Dr. Kali Stephens to the Little Woods Animal Hospital team starting in June! Along with her passion for veterinary medicine, she’s bringing a brand new service to our clinic—acupuncture for pets. ✨

Dr. Stephens is originally from Salem, Arkansas. She earned her undergraduate degree from Arkansas State University before completing her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine in May 2025.

She and her husband recently moved to Cabot with their dachshund, Penny. When she’s not at the clinic, she enjoys reading, playing pickleball, and spending time outdoors with her family.

Dr. Stephens is certified in veterinary acupuncture and is excited to use it to help pets manage arthritis, chronic pain, mobility issues, anxiety, and more. We’re thrilled to add this to our list of services and know it will make a big difference for many of our patients.

Happy National Urban Beekeeping Day! 🌼🐝 Today we’re giving a shoutout to one of the smallest, hardest-working heroes in our ecosystem — the bee! Urban and backyard beekeeping helps protect pollinator populations, support local ecosystems, and even improve food security in cities and suburbs. Fun fact: Just one hive can pollinate millions of flowers every day. Without bees, we’d lose over a third of the food we eat — including pet-safe favorites like blueberries, pumpkins, and carrots! Whether you’re a backyard beekeeper or just a bee fan, today’s the perfect day to: 🌼 Plant pollinator-friendly flowers 🚫 Skip the pesticides 💛 Spread the buzz about bees! 📸 Drop a photo of your hive, your bees, or YOU in your beekeeping gear in the comments!
