Can the HOA hold us responsible for the behavior of dogs that don’t belong to us, but are on our property?

We have a home in another state, and we have very responsible renters living it. A few weeks ago, we received a “courtesy notice” about an incident that occurred on that property. The notice said that two dogs ran out into the street and were nearly hit by a car. It said we were responsible to keep our animals under control. The dogs belonged to some neighborhood children, who called them back into our yard after the incident.

Can the HOA hold us responsible for the behavior of dogs that don’t belong to us, but are on our property? I am not sure if this is important, but HOA rules also don’t allow fences in the front yard.
