While stellar processes are believed to be the main source of feedback in dwarf galaxies, the accumulating discoveries of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in dwarf galaxies over recent years arouse the interest to also consider AGN feedback in them. Fast, AGN-driven outflows, a major mechanism of AGN feedback, have indeed been discovered in dwarf galaxies and may be powerful enough to provide feedback to their dwarf hosts. In this paper, we search for outflows traced by the blueshifted ultraviolet absorption features in three dwarf galaxies with AGN from the sample examined in our previous ground-based study. We confirm outflows traced by blueshifted absorption features in two objects and tentatively detect an outflow in the third object. In one object where the outflow is clearly detected in multiple species, photoionization modeling suggests that this outflow is located ∼0.5 kpc from the AGN, implying a galactic-scale impact. This outflow is much faster and possesses a higher kinetic energy outflow rate than starburst-driven outflows in sources with similar star formation rates, and is likely energetic enough to provide negative feedback to its host galaxy as predicted by simulations. Much broader (∼4000 km s^–1) absorption features are also discovered in this object, which may have the same origin as that of broad absorption lines in quasars. Additionally, strong He IIλ1640 emission is detected in both objects where the transition falls in the wavelength coverage and is consistent with an AGN origin. In one of these two objects, a blueshifted He IIλ1640 emission line is clearly detected, likely tracing a highly ionized AGN wind.
