One of the dwarf planets, Ceres, is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and shares its orbit with millions of small rocky objects or asteroids.

All the rest we know about are called plutoids (after Pluto), are largely made of ice and are in the Kuiper Belt and Scattered Disc, regions filled with icy bodies out beyond the planet Neptune. The Kuiper Belt goes from 30-50 times farther from the Sun than Earth is, the Scattered Disc goes out from 50-100 times further from the Sun than Earth. That's very far away!

It's possible that there are other dwarf planets beyond that but we haven't yet found any.
