Proffered

The doctor put out a finger close to the little pink nose. "Howdy, Pixel." Pixel was helpful. (Sometimes he is not--a cat of firm opinions.) He sniffed the proffered finger, then licked it. [1, p. 8]

To proffer means to put something before someone to be judged for acceptance. There is a word for just about anything, isn't there?
