Three dwarf planets are farther out than Pluto:
Haumea and Makemake are within the same orbital range, in the Kuiper Belt.
However, Eris gets nearly twice as far from the Sun as Pluto.
Some candidates for dwarf planet status are in the same orbital category as Pluto or the other dwarf planets:
Orcus comes slightly closer to the Sun than Pluto (it is a plutino).
Quaoar is in the realm of Makemake (a cubewano).
The planetoid 2007OR10 has an orbit similar to Eris (scattered disk object).
Sedna is the farthest of the planetoids from the Sun, with an orbit that comes as close to the Sun as the Kuiper Belt, but gets much farther away, nearly 10 times as far away as Eris.
