Pluto is closer in size and composition to the MOONS of the outer planets Neptune and Uranus. It is not as substantial as the inner terrestrial planets, but is typical of many icy objects that orbit past Neptune.

The gas giants are massive objects with deep, dense atmospheres. Pluto is so small it cannot hold much of an atmosphere at all.
